White (chest) is expected to report to AHL Lehigh Valley on a conditioning assignment next week, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

White has been sidelined since late-August after undergoing surgery to repair his left pectoral muscle, so he'll essentially need an abbreviated training camp in the minors in order to get up to speed. Once he get a handful of games under his belt and reports no lingering pain, White figures to be added to the Flyers' 23-man roster. If that comes to fruition, he'd likely serve as a fourth line player for Philadelphia.
