The Philadelphia Flyers have claimed forward Lukas Sedlak off waivers from the Colorado Avalanche, per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. The Avs had placed Sedlak on waivers yesterday alongside a Ben Meyers AHL assignment, making way for all three of Martin Kaut, Anton Blidh, and Jayson Megna to join the NHL club for tonight’s clash with the Winnipeg Jets.
Sedlak centered the fourth line for Colorado’s first three games of the regular season, playing a small role on the penalty kill in the process. The 29-year old forward signed a one-year, $800k contract in June, right in the middle of the Avs Stanley Cup run.
