Earlier today the Flyers announced that they have recalled forward Phil Varone from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the AHL.
Varone, 28, currently leads the Phantoms in scoring with 28 points in 22 games, and ranks second across the entire AHL. The reigning Les Cunningham Award winner has been the Phantoms’ most consistent player this season, as he’s yet to have been kept off the score sheet in consecutive games.
Just a few days ago Phantoms head coach Scott Gordon talked about the possibility of Varone receiving a recall to Philadelphia, and sure enough it’s come to fruition.
