Ellis is unlikely to play during the 2022-23 NHL season.

The Flyers finally revealed the nature of Ellis' injury, which sidelined him for almost all of last season. A torn psoas muscle has caused significant hip and core issues for Ellis and could end his career prematurely. Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher told reporters that Ellis is out indefinitely and unlikely to play this season and added that Ellis might never play again.

Ellis re-aggravated his lower-body injury and is week-to-week.

Ellis previously missed nine games with a lower-body injury but returned to the Flyers lineup in Dallas on Saturday. Ellis registered one assist in 18:45 TOI but re-injured himself and is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks.

Ellis (undisclosed) remains day-to-day; will not play on Wednesday.

Ellis was expected to be back in the lineup on Wednesday, but apparently, his injury is lingering. Not being available for Wednesday's game in Edmonton, certainly makes him questionable for Thursday as well.

The Flyers have acquired Ryan Ellis from the Predators for Philippe Myers and Nolan Patrick.

Ellis is heading into the third year of an eight-year contract that pays him $6.25M AAV per season. Ellis was 22nd among defensemen in points with 79 (15G / 64A) in 2019 and 2020 combined but his production fell off a bit in 2021. Still, the 30-year-old is a massive addition to the Flyers blueline and could find himself on the top pair with Ivan Provorov in 2022.

The Predators have placed Ryan Ellis (upper-body) on IR.

Ellis was knocked out of the Winter Classic after being elbowed in the face by Corey Perry early in the first period. The Predators are still calling it an "upper-body injury" but it sure looked like a concussion. The Predators used the roster spot to call-up, Alexandre Carrier, from Milwaukee (AHL).

Ellis (knee) will make his season debut on Tuesday.

Ellis missed the first 38 games of the season after undergoing offseason knee surgery, but will play his first game of the season tonight in Vegas. Ellis, who is expected to skate on a pairing with Roman Josi, is coming off of the best season of his career, in which he registered 16 goals and 22 assists (38 points) in 71 games. Ellis is one of the better offensive-defensemen in the NHL and makes the Predators that much more dangerous, especially on the power-play.
