After three days on the ice honing skills and working on drills, it’s time for the Flyers rookies to take the ice for a game.
The conclusion of Rookie Camp is upon us, as the Flyers prospects will take on the Islanders prospects in a game on Wednesday night at PPL Center in Allentown at 7 p.m.
The Flyers are expected to dress 15 forwards, eight defensemen and two goaltenders for the game. The forwards will be headlined by the top line of Morgan Frost, Joel Farabee and Isaac Ratcliffe. All three have been standouts in camp. Phil Myers headlines the defensive group and is expected to be paired with Egor Zamula, who has also had a strong camp. Goaltending duties for the game will be split between Felix Sandstrom and Kirill Ustimenko with Sandstrom getting the start.
