The Flyers announced their 2024-25 season-opening roster Monday and it featured the names that were expected after last Friday's cuts.

Jett Luchanko officially made the roster as an 18-year-old. If the speedy center plays in the team's opener — and all indications are that he will — he'll be the youngest player in franchise history to make his NHL debut.

"I think he has a maturity about him," head coach John Tortorella said last Friday. "We know he's 18, just turned it. But he carries himself in a different way. A bright player, a good 200-foot player, understands that already, you can see."

Matvei Michkov, the Flyers' touted 19-year-old winger, will also be making his anticipated NHL debut. He had an excellent preseason, putting up three goals and four assists in four games.

The Flyers open the regular season Friday on the road against the Canucks (10 p.m. ET/NBCSP).
