Playing career

Raffl signed a one-year NHL entry-level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on 31 May 2013.[1] He began the 2013–14 season with the Flyers AHL affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms.[2] He was recalled to the NHL on 12 October,[3] and he scored his first career NHL goal on 9 December 2013, against Craig Anderson of the Ottawa Senators.[4]

Raffl signed a two-year contract extension with the Flyers worth $2.2 million on 22 March 2014.[5]

Raffl's 2016–17 season was riddled with injuries and he only appeared in a career-low 52 games that season. In October 2016, Raffl was placed on injured reserve to recover from an upper-body injury.[6] In March 2017, Raffl was injured in a game against the Colorado Avalanche and was set to be out for 6–8 weeks.[7]
