The Philadelphia Flyers have made a significant move by activating defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen from the injured reserve. Ristolainen has been sidelined for an extended period due to an undisclosed injury, and his return is a welcome boost for a Flyers team looking to improve their defensive performance.
