GLENDALE, Ariz. – All of a sudden, the Flyers are short on experienced goaltenders.
Veterans Brian Elliott and Michal Neuvirth are both sidelined with injuries, so the Flyers recalled Alex Lyon from the AHL’s Phantoms on Monday.
Elliott was injured when he collided with teammate Travis Konency at practice Sunday at the Gila River Arena. He was unable to play against the Coyotes on Monday, and the severity of his injury will not be known until he is examined when the team returns home Tuesday, general manager Ron Hextall said.
Hextall sounded optimistic that Elliott wouldn’t miss much time.
