Flyers

At a time when the likes of Gretzky and Lemieux were in the twilight of their careers and Yzerman, Jagr, Sundin and Shanahan were headlining the NHL, Eric Lindros stood among them. He’ll stand among them again on Monday, as he joins the Hockey Hall of Fame, along with Sergei Makarov, Rogie Vachon and Pat Quinn.

The Phantoms completed a three-in-three sweep and claimed their sixth straight win with a 3-1 victory over the Hershey Bears at Giant Center in Hershey.

Flyers GM Ron Hextall announced on Sunday that Neuvirth will be out for four-to-six weeks with a lower-body injury.

Forward Petr Straka will be sent to New Jersey, for a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2017 or 2018 NHL draft.

Right off the heels of Friday’s third-period meltdown against Toronto, the Flyers have a quick opportunity to bounce back, as they welcome the Minnesota Wild to Wells Fargo Center and open a four-game stretch on home ice.
