Cates was elevated from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday and will suit up against Pittsburgh.
Cates has been shuffled up and down the organizational depth chart this season, especially when the taxi squads were in play, but has seen action in 10 games for the Flyers this year. The 24-year-old center has just one point to show for it, however, and figures to continue logging less than 10 minutes per night when he does crack the lineup. Having said that, an injury to Gerald Mayhew (eye) could see Cates get an extended look at the NHL level.
