Ryan Ellis

Ryan Ellis back on IR

The Flyers have placed defenseman Ryan Ellis on IR with a lingering lower-body injury.

Fantasy Impact

There's no clear timetable for Ellis to return. It will be a little while though as head coach Alain Vigneault called him "week-to-week." It's a tough setback for Ellis, who projects to be a productive defenseman for his new team once he's able to get back on the ice. Stash him on IR if you can, or he's droppable if that's not an option for you.
