Philadelphia Flyers‘ undrafted defenseman Philippe Myers(61) earns an NHL recall and his first appearance in the show as the club’s standing for a playoff spot is slipping.
In his debut (a 3-1 win), he skated 14 shifts for 9:32 of total ice with 1 shot on net, 2 hits, 2 play breakups and left the game with a +1 rating.
The very big 6’5″ 210 lbs. blue liner has already eclipsed marks set as a rookie with a new career high 9 goals (team lead) and 20 assists for 29 points in 48 AHL games.
He was very capable of head manning the puck for scoring opportunities in his last two years with Rouyn-Noranda Huskies twice grabbing 20+ assists and potting 10+ goals with a league best +52 rating en route to a 2016 QMJHL Championship.
The recently turned 22-year old is in the middle of a three-year entry level deal that had a pair of early slides after an early signing in his third year of juniors.
