November 2, 2026
Allentown, PA – The Philadelphia Flyers have assigned forward Alex Bump to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
Bump, 22 has played in eight games with the Flyers this season and also played in 17 games with Philadelphia last year scoring 5-4-9 while also registering two goals in six postseason games. He made his NHL debut on March 7, 2026 and scored his first goal in that same game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Bump had a massive eight-day stretch with the Phantoms in October in which he racked up a five-game goal streak racking up seven goals. He had back-to-back two-goal games in Springfield, culminating the torrid run with the overtime winner in Lehigh Valley’s third straight win. He was recalled to the Flyers on October 19.
He will carry his five-game goal streak into the team’s next game at the Laval Rocket on Wednesday with a chance to tie the all-time Lehigh Valley record six-game goal streak accomplished by Petr Straka and Danick Martel. The franchise record is a seven-game goal streak by Mike Maneluk of the Philadelphia Phantoms.
Bump thrived in his rookie season with Lehigh Valley scoring 11-15-26 in 36 games. He had joined the Phantoms at the end of the 2024-25 season immediately after winning the National Championship at the Frozen Four with Western Michigan. The Prior Lake, Minnesota native was a fifth-round selection of the Flyers in 2022.
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms embark on a three-game road trip this week beginning Wednesday night at the first-place Laval Rocket. The Phantoms return to PPL Center for our Friday the 13th promotion on November 13 against the Hamilton Hammers and will also be at home on Saturday, Nobember 14 against the Charlotte Checkers on Hockey is for Everyone Night.
