The day started off with the Flyers agreeing to terms with Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Michal Neuvirth who both signed two-year extensions. Bellemare received more good news being named an alternate captain, replacing former assistant Mark Streit.
The Flyers’ fourth line center is a clear part of the Philadelphia Flyers leadership core and a key member in the locker room.
Pierre-Edouard Bellemare has been given more defensive responsibility this season. In fact, by the way he and defensive specialist Sean Couturier have been used, it’s difficult to tell who is the Flyers’ No. 1 shutdown center.- Sam Carchidi
