Philadelphia Flyers‘ 6th round pick in the 2009 draft (#172 overall), left wing Eric Wellwood(22) potted his first NHL goal last weekend and has been on a bit of a tear with the big club in his second recall of the 2011/2012 season. In 5 games he also has a pair of assists and is a +6 plus/minus, even though the team has lost 3 of the contests he played in.
He was summoned for 3 games in his rookie campaign and managed to get on the scoring sheet with an assist.
In 105 AHL games with Adirondack Phantoms, the 21-year old is credited for 25 goals and 24 assists.
In juniors, he played for Windsor Spitfires, who won back-to-back Memorial Cups in 2009 and 2010.
At 5’11” 179 lbs. he doen’t look like the most threatening skater on the ice but he does have the ability to be out there contributing on a regular basis.
He is in the 2nd season of his 3-year entry level contract.
