Pelletier has gotten his visa issues resolved and is good to make his debut for Philadelphia.

Pelletier was acquired in a trade from the Calgary Flames on January 30th but missed four straight games due to difficulties with his visa. The 23-year-old Pelletier averaged 12:38 time-on-ice and had 11 points (4G / 7A) in 24 games with the Flames this season.

Kuzmenko solved his visa issues and was a full participant in practice on Friday.

Kuzmenko will likely make his Flyers debut on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Kuzmenko broke onto the NHL scene in the 2022-23 season with a tremendous 74 points (39G / 35A) in 81 games with the Vancouver Canucks. The now 28-year-old has struggled to recapture that scoring prowess, with only 61 points (26G / 35A) in 109 games since.
