Cam Atkinson is out tomorrow vs New Jersey according to John Tortorella

Atkinson continues to battle an unspecified injury that caused the 33-year-old to miss all of the Flyers' six preseason games. The right winger is coming off a resurgent 2021-22 which saw him place second on the Flyers in both goals (23) and points as he passed the 50-point plateau for the fourth time in his 11-year career.

The Flyers have acquired Cam Atkinson from the Blue Jackets for Jakub Voracek.

After ranking tied for sixth in the NHL in goals (41) in 2019, Atkinson is tied for 133rd with 27 goals over the last two seasons combined. Atkinson has four years left on a seven-year contract that carries a $5.875M AAV cap-hit. The deal will save the Flyers $2.375M against the cap in 2021 but Atkinson has an extra year left on his deal compared to Voracek.

Atkinson (undisclosed) will not play on Monday.

There no word what kind of injury Atkinson is dealing with but it will leave the Blue Jackets without seven regular skaters tonight vs. the Lightning. Liam Foudy has come up from the London Knights (OHL) to take Atkinson's spot in the lineup. Consider him day-to-day until the Blue Jackets release a more detailed injury report.

The Blue Jackets have activated Cam Atkinson (ankle) from IR.

Atkinson has missed the last 12 games with a sprained ankle but is set to return to the lineup on Thursday. To make room for Atkinson, the Blue Jackets reassigned Ryan MacInnis to Cleveland (AHL). Atkinson has not had the season he was expecting to have after posting a career-high 41 goals and 69 points in 2018-19. He has nine goals (8.0 SH%) and 12 assists (21 points) in 35 games this season.

Atkinson has been placed on IR; is expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks with a sprained ankle.

Atkinson was hurt vs. the Kings on December 19th and missed the final two games before the Christmas break. This is a tough time for Atkinson to get hurt because he was finally heating up--scoring five goals with two assists in his previous nine games. With Atkinson, among others, sidelined newcomers like Kevin Stenlund and Eric Robinson have been tasked with playing top-6 roles for Columbus.
