Defenseman Mark Streit said it was "special" to return to the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday, but he added he was caught off guard by the trade that sent him from the Flyers to Tampa Bay and then quickly to Pittsburgh.
"But it's part of the business and I have a great opportunity with a great team," Streit said before his ex-team hosted the Penguins. "I'm excited and I'm going to embrace it as well; the transition was smooth."
On March 1, the Flyers traded Streit to Tampa Bay for Valtteri Filppula and fourth- and seventh-round draft picks.
