Brandon Manning News

The Flyers have placed Brandon Manning (undisclosed) on injured reserve.

It’s unclear when Manning sustained the injury, but you have to figure that it happened Monday in Calgary. His move to IR means that he will miss at least two games and TJ Brennan has been recalled from Lehigh Valley (AHL) to take his place on the roster.

Manning (shoulder) is expected to be ready for the season opener.

Manning has been bothered by a shoulder injury during the preseason, but it looks like he will be ready to play in the Flyers’ season opener. This is good news for Philadelphia, who will be without Michael Del Zotto (lower-body) and Radko Gudas (suspension) for at least the first six games.
