Fans of the Philadelphia Flyers haven’t had much to cheer for lately — the team is in the midst of yet another losing streak, and their chances of qualifying for the postseason are dwindling. But Saturday night, Flyers fans did have a little something special to keep an eye on.
Highly anticipated forward prospect Elliot Desnoyers made his NHL debut against the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center. The 21-year-old has impressed with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms this season, logging 19 goals and 36 points in 48 games, and his debut with the Flyers was well earned.
