NEW YORK – Speedy winger Taylor Leier played in just 39 games as a rookie last season, barely played in the last two months, and finished with only one goal, making him sort of a forgotten man in the Flyers' training camp.
"Not from our standpoint," coach Dave Hakstol said before the Flyers' 5-1 preseason win Tuesday night over the New York Islanders at the Barclays Center. "Taylor's had a good camp, a solid camp."
If Leier, 24, is going to earn a roster spot, he will probably need to show he can finish off his scoring chances and demonstrate his worth on the penalty kill.
