Alex Lyon was not on the ice as the Taxi Squad goalie in the Flyers practice. Felix Sandstrom did take to the ice, though. Sandstrom and Pouliot were both recalled to the Flyers Taxi Squad on February 10th.

As a result of the Sushko and Kase call-ups, Friday’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms game has been postponed against the Binghamton Devils. It was moved to Wednesday February 24th. Saturday’s Phantoms home opener against the Devils remains as scheduled. The hope for Scott Gordon and the rest of the Phantoms crew is that they will receive a few bodies back from Philly or IR.

Forwards Linus Sandin and Tanner Laczynski could potentially be ready to go for Saturday, along side defenseman Chris Bigras. All three did not play Sunday against Hershey due to lingering injuries. Laczynski was slated to be out a week with a groin injury. And there is still no timetable for forwards Issac Ratcliffe and Wade Allison.

The Phantoms would have six defenseman, eleven forwards and two goalies if Sushko and Kase don’t return for Saturday’s game.
