Gostisbehere Expected to Be Healthy for Training Camp

Gostisbehere should be ready to go by training camp in September, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Sam Carchidi.

The Courier-Post's Dave Isaac reported that Gostisbehere dealt with the injuries during the Flyers' postseason series against the Washington Capitals:

Philadelphia tried to fight back from a 3-0 series deficit before falling in Game 6. Gostisbehere scored a goal and added an assist during the series.

His average of 0.33 points per game in the playoffs was below his regular-season production, which may have been partly due to the injuries. The 23-year-old put up 46 points in 64 games, or 0.72 points per game.

Gostisbehere was left off Team North America's initial 16-man roster for the upcoming World Cup of Hockey. Team North America is comprised of players under the age of 23 from the continent.

However, North America head coach Todd McLellan thinks highly of Gostisbehere, per NHL.com's Adam Kimelman:

The tournament will begin Sept. 17, per NHL.com, so Gostisbehere should be healthy if chosen to join the final roster.

Gostisbehere will have an entire summer to heal and rehab, so his play should not suffer. He is one of the bright young defensemen in the league, so look for him to put together a solid sophomore season.
