The 22-year-old Grans did not look like a rookie, and the Flyers fought back after falling behind 3-0, but mistakes hindered them in snapping their three-game winning streak.

Grans, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound defenseman, will make his NHL debut in front of his parents Monday against the Avalanche.

Even in the face of a significant number of injuries, the Philadelphia Flyers kept things close, falling 3-2 to Cale Makar and the Colorado Avalanche at the Wells Fargo Center on Monday night.
