The Flyers have recalled Scott Laughton from Lehigh Valley (AHL).

The Flyers lost Sean Couturier to an MCL sprain, so Laughton has been called-up and will be in the lineup on Wednesday. Laughton has not appeared in any games with the Flyers this season, but has scored two goals with six assists (eight points) in eight games with Lehigh Valley. Laughton has collected 27 points (9G / 18A) in 107 career NHL games.

The Flyers have placed Scott Laughton (knee) on long-term injured reserve.

Laughton is recovering from a sprained knee that he suffered in training camp. With Laughton expected to miss at least 10 games, his move to LTIR helps the Flyers with some cap relief and a roster spot. Start monitoring Laughton’s status in about three weeks when he will be eligible to be removed from LTIR.

Laughton (upper-body) will not play on Thursday; listed as day-to-day.

Laughton must have suffered the upper-body injury in the Flyers 1-0 loss to the Capitals last night. With Laughton out, Zac Rinaldo is expected to slide back into the lineup. Expect the Flyers to shuffle their lines with Laughton’s absence.

Scott Laughton was recalled on Tuesday and will make his season debut on Wednesday.

Laughton, 20, was the Flyers first round pick (20th overall) in 2012. He had registered 11 points (6G / 5A) in 13 games prior to yesterday’s recall. He will skate on the Flyers’ third line with Vincent Lecavalier and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare.

The Flyers have decided to loan Laughton back to his junior team, the Oshawa Generals of the OHL.

Laughton, 19, made the team out of training camp for a second consecutive season, but unlike last season, when he played five games in the NHL before going back to juniors, he was a healthy scratch for the season opener. “Scott was sent back to Oshawa today,” said general manager Paul Holmgren. “We felt this was the right thing to do for Scott and for the Flyers as it relates to his development.”
