Flyers Call Up Alex Bump, Assign Adam Ginning to AHL Ahead of Penguins Clash

The Philadelphia Flyers have made key roster adjustments as they prepare to face the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. In a move that has generated excitement among fans, the Flyers have recalled forward Alex Bump from their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Alongside this, defenseman Adam Ginning has been reassigned to Lehigh Valley.

Bump’s promotion is particularly noteworthy given his status as one of the Flyers’ most promising prospects. The 2022 fifth-round pick has enjoyed a productive season, participating in 36 games with the Phantoms, where he has tallied 11 goals, 15 assists, and a total of 26 points. This call-up marks Bump’s first opportunity to showcase his talents on the Flyers’ roster.

On the other hand, Ginning’s stint with the Flyers has been brief. The left-shot defenseman has appeared in five games this season without registering any points, maintaining an even plus/minus rating. His performance in the AHL has also been modest, with one goal and four points, alongside 20 penalty minutes and a minus-7 rating over the course of 31 games. As the Flyers look to bolster their lineup, these roster changes reflect their commitment to both immediate performance and future potential.
