Flyers Defenseman Out Months After Undergoing Knee Surgery

The Philadelphia Flyers are starting the season banged and bruised as the team will be without several players to open camp, including defenseman Samuel Morin. The versatile defender underwent knee surgery on September 10, and will be out roughly two months.

Last season Morin posted one goal in 20 games for the Flyers and is looking to make a big jump in 2021-22. The surgery he had done repaired some loose bodies which were floating around in his knee.

INJURY UPDATES:

Here's some highlights from last season as Morin is known for his physical play much more than scoring goals:
