MONTREAL — By standing pat at Monday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline, the Flyers showed confidence in left winger Oskar Lindblom’s ability to be a factor down the stretch.
Lindblom didn’t score, but he played well in his first three games after being recalled from the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms, getting a promotion to the Flyers’ second line in just his second game.
Even when Wayne Simmonds returns from an injury in a week or two, there’s a chance Lindblom will remain in the lineup if he continues his strong play.
“We feel like we got better right now with Oskar,” general manager Ron Hextall said.
