With the Tuesday news that Brian Elliott was deemed healthy enough for a conditioning assignment with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the Philadelphia Flyers have run into a problem in net. Instead of the usual lack of talent, the Flyers find themselves with way too many goalies.
Carter Hart is now the starter for the rest of the season, while Anthony Stolarz has earned a shot in the NHL and is no longer waiver exempt. Elliott is one veteran returning from injury, but Michal Neuvirth should be following him soon, though the Flyers have not commented much on his progress.
