One guy wasn’t expected to get the call up this early in the regular season. The other wasn’t even in the conversation until he arrived and Ryan Ellis and his contract went West. But at nearly the halfway point of the 2025-26 season, the Philadelphia Flyers are getting important contributions across the board.
