The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have signed left-handed defenseman Yegor Zamula to an entry-level contract. The 6’3”, 160-pound 18-year-old is an undrafted free agent who was invited to last week’s rookie camp and impressed the coaching staff enough to take part in a pair of preseason games this week. Zamula joins Philippe Myers as the only two draft-eligible free agents defensemen General Manager Ron Hextall has signed in his tenure with the Flyers.
Taking part in the Flyers’ 3-1 win over the New York Islanders on Monday and the 6-4 decision over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden last night, Zamula has a pair of hits, a pair of blocked shots, and put one of his four shot attempts on net in 33:25 of ice time.
