Today, the Flyers announced that goaltender Felix Sandstrom would be sent down from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms to the Reading Royals, the Flyers’ ECHL affiliate.
Sandstrom, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the NHL draft in 2015, will look to see more playing time during his first professional season playing hockey in North America. He will join fellow first-year pro Kirill Ustimenko as he reports to Reading. Sandstrom so far had only played one game for the Phantoms back in 2018-19 and hadn’t appeared for the Phantoms yet, as they have only played one game to date.
