Ryan Ellis's comeback from a lower-body injury lasted one game.

The Philadelphia Flyers' biggest off-season acquisition has re-aggravated a lower-body injury and is week-to-week, head coach Alain Vigneault announced Monday.

Ellis originally suffered the injury but in Game 3 of the season and missed the next nine games before returning in Saturday's loss to the Stars. In four games Ellis has one goal and five points.

The Flyers acquired Ellis from the Predators in a three-team trade with the Golden Knights that saw Philadelphia send Phillipe Myers to Nashville and Nolan Patrick to Vegas.
