The Flyers are giving free-agent Ray Emery a tryout and may sign him as their No. 3 goalie, general manager Ron Hextall said in a conference call Tuesday night.
Emery, 33, played two stints with the Flyers, and he will report to their morning skate Wednesday. He struggled in 31 games with the team last season, compiling a 3.06 goals-against average and a .894 save percentage.
The move gives the team insurance in case Steve Mason or rookie Anthony Stolarz are injured, Hextall said.
Emery would not be eligible for the postseason if the Flyers earned a playoff berth.
