Ratcliffe was a second-round pick in 2017 but has yet to make an impact at the NHL level. The 6-foot-6, 200 lbs winger has appeared in just 10 NHL games in five years, spending all of 2023 in the AHL so far. In 26 games with Lehigh Valley, Ratcliffe has just four points (2G / 2A). He'll likely report to Milwaukee (AHL).

Ratcliffe appeared in 10 games with the Flyers during his call-up, scoring one goal with three assists (four points). Ratcliffe returns to the AHL, where he has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 33 games. Max Willman is expected to replace him in the Flyers' lineup on Thursday.
