The Philadelphia Flyers have been playing the kids all season, and they’re about to give another youngster some additional time on NHL ice.
The Flyers recalled defenseman Egor Zamula from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms Monday morning. Zamula, 22, has logged a goal and 16 points in 42 games with the Phantoms this season.
Zamula is likely to return to Lehigh Valley this weekend when the Phantoms are slated to play their next game. Flyers head coach John Tortorella confirmed as much when speaking to the media after Monday’s practice.
Zamula began the campaign with the Flyers, but has only appeared in 11 NHL games this season.
