Aleksei Kolosov held his own in NHL debut

The strange saga which has been Aleksei Kolosov’s beginning to the season has gotten another wrinkle. Capping off a short training camp holdout, an expression of displeasure about being assigned to the AHL, and then an assignment to the AHL in the end, Kolosov was recalled to the Flyers after four games with the Phantoms in order to help them shore up their backup goaltending situation, to give them a different look, and finally made his NHL debut last night against the Canadiens.

If the timing of this seemed a little strange, given the numbers Kolosov has been putting up in the AHL, that would feeling would be rightful.
