Flyers' Cooper Zech: Activated, sent to AHL

Zech (upper body) was activated from injured reserve and assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday, per CapFriendly.

Zech was initially expected to be sidelined 6-8 weeks after sustaining an upper-body injury in the preseason. He beat that timeline by about two weeks, but the 22-year-old will now log time with the Phantoms and should be on the list for call-ups when the Flyers need defensive reinforcements.
