And this: The Flyers recalled Harry Z and Ben Holmstrom from the Phantoms today. Matt Walker, who's not very good, was sent down. That full release is after the jump.
The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have recalled 5-11, 180-lb RW Harry Zolnierczyk and 6-1, 180-lb center Ben Holmstrom from their American Hockey League affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms, according to general manager Paul Holmgren. Both players will be available for tomorrow’s game in Buffalo, with Zolnierczyk wearing #29 and Holmstrom wearing #22.
Zolnierczyk, 24 (9/1/87), joins the Flyers for the second time this season. He scored his first NHL goal in his one game with the Flyers on Oct. 18 at Ottawa. Zolnierczyk has posted five goals and four assists for nine points in 10 games for the Phantoms this season.
Holmstrom, 24 (4/9/87), the captain of the Phantoms this season, makes his first trip of the year to the Flyers. He appeared in two games last season, recording five penalty minutes. Holmstrom has four assists and 20 PIM in eight games for the Phantoms so far this year.
In addition, Holmgren announced that defenseman Matt Walker has been loaned to Adirondack. Walker has appeared in three games for the Flyers this year, recording 16 PIM.
The Flyers return to the ice on Wednesday night when they visit the Buffalo Sabres (7:30 PM, VERSUS, 94 WIP) and return home on Thursday night to host the New Jersey Devils at 7 PM.
