Cap-strapped Flyers recall Conner

VANCOUVER _ With Sean Couturier still sidelined with a concussion, the Flyers recalled winger Chris Conner on Sunday from the AHL's Phantoms.

Conner, a career journeyman who has 22 goals and 50 points in 180 NHL games, did not arrive in time for Sunday's practice at the University of British Columbia.

By adding Conner ($575,000 cap hit), the Flyers are only about $95,000 under the cap.

The Flyers play Vancouver on Monday.

With the Phantoms this season, Conner, 31, was tied for the team lead in goals (4), first in plus-minus (plus-6) and second in points (8).
