Center Pierre-Edouard Bellemare was named the Flyers' Masterton Trophy nominee by the Philadelphia chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association on Tuesday.
The Masterton is presented each year by the NHL to the player who "best exemplifies perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication.’’
Past winners from the Flyers: Bobby Clarke, Tim Kerr, and Ian Laperriere.
"You don't work to try to get those kind of rewards," Bellemare said after Tuesday's morning skate at the Wells Fargo Center. You work "to be as helpful to the team in any way possible. ... But it sure is nice when somebody notices the work you're doing.
