Ellis -- who is dealing with a lower-body issue -- will not be ready to play in Tuesday's clash with Arizona, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Ellis being downgraded to week-to-week after having already missed four games, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Flyers place him on injured reserve in the coming days. Prior to his absence, the 30-year-old defenseman racked up four points in three games, including a power-play assist. Until Ellis is ready to play, Nick Seeler figures to remain in the lineup.

Ellis (undisclosed) won't play Saturday versus the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis will miss a fourth straight game with the injury, which means Nick Seeler will likely stay in the lineup. The 30-year-old Ellis is still considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Coyotes.

Ellis (undisclosed) won't play Thursday versus the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis was thought to have a chance to play Thursday, but he's been ruled out ahead of the contest. The 30-year-old remains day-to-day, with his next chance to return being Saturday against the Flames.

Ellis (undisclosed) will not play against Edmonton on Wednesday but is still considered day-to-day.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis will miss his second straight game Wednesday while dealing with an undisclosed injury. The 30-year-old will have a chance to play Thursday in Vancouver.

Ellis (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus Edmonton on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to getting hurt, Ellis recorded one goal on four shots, three assists and four blocks while averaging 24:09 of ice time. If the defender does play Wednesday, he should see time with the man advantage and be a solid fantasy target, assuming he can return to his pre-injury form.

Ellis (undisclosed) won't play Saturday versus Florida, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Ellis won't play Saturday, he should be available at some point during the Flyers' upcoming three-game road trip. The 30-year-old blueliner has racked up four points through three games this campaign.

Ellis is doubtful to play Saturday against the Panthers due to an undisclosed injury, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The reason for Ellis' expected absence is unclear at this time. After Saturday, Philadelphia doesn't play until Wednesday, so Ellis could be back in the lineup then if he's only dealing with a minor injury.

Ellis scored a goal on his only shot in Monday's 6-1 win over Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

The former longtime Predator tallied his first goal as a Flyer, sneaking down from the point and one-timing a Derick Brassard centering feed in the second period to make it a 4-0 game. A mainstay on the Nashville blueline for 10 seasons, Ellis has three points with a plus-3 rating in his first two games with Philadelphia.

Ellis (lower body) logged two assists, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis set up Joel Farabee in the first period and added a secondary assist on Claude Giroux's equalizer in the third. That's a solid Flyers debut for Ellis, who joined the team in a trade from the Predators in July. The 30-year-old has always been steady in his own zone, posting a minus rating in just one of his 10 seasons with the Predators. He's also capable of racking up 30-to-40 points over a full season.

As expected, Ellis (lower body) will be in the lineup for Friday's season opener versus the Canucks, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis has been dealing with a minor lower-body issue recently, but he was always expected to be available for Friday's matchup with Vancouver. The former Predator is expected to skate on the Flyers' top pairing and second power-play unit against the Canucks.
