The Flyers signed 2022 third-round pick Devin Kaplan to his three-year entry-level contract Tuesday.
The deal begins this season, so it sure looks like the 21-year-old winger is in line for his NHL debut Thursday when the Flyers wrap up the 2024-25 campaign on the road against the Sabres (7 p.m. ET/NBCSP).
Karsen Dorwart, a free agent who the Flyers signed out of Michigan State, made his NHL debut 10 days ago.
