According to TSN’s Darren Dreger, the Flyers are in preliminary discussions with the Edmonton Oilers regarding a trade around goalie Cam Talbot.
The Flyers placed forward Jori Lehtera on waivers on Wednesday, GM Chuck Fletcher announced.
Last week, Carter Hart was named the NHL’s Rookie of the Month for January. On Monday, another honor came in, as Hart was named the NHL’s Second Star of the Week.
Make no mistake about it, Carter Hart has all the makings of an NHL goalie at 20 years old, and the numbers are backing it up.
The Flyers released an injury update on four players during Friday’s practice, while Dale Weise was absent from practice and Anthony Stolarz begins a conditioning assignment.
The Flyers claimed goalie Mike McKenna off waivers on Friday. If McKenna sees the ice for a start, they would also claim an infamous record.
The Flyers recalled 20-year-old netminder Carter Hart on Monday. Goalie Alex Lyon was returned to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Anthony Stolarz, who left Saturday’s game with an injury, is out for 2-to-4 weeks with a lower-body injury.
The momentum of the Flyers six-game points streak is gone, and a 9-9-2 mark and 20 points through 20 games is really not all that different from any other season under Dave Hakstol.
Flyers goalie Brian Elliott will be out for approximately two weeks with a lower-body injury, GM Ron Hextall announced on Friday. Alex Lyon was recalled from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms to take his place. Cal Pickard will serve as the starter.
It’s a game where the scoreboard doesn’t tell the whole story. The Flyers 3-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night was much closer than the final score. That said, it was also a game that could be summed up in three words: That’s. So. Flyers.
