Flyers Send Defenseman Back to Lehigh Valley Phantoms
The Philadelphia Flyers sent right-handed-shooting defenseman Ronnie Attard back to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on Friday.
Attard, 24, had no points and an “even” rating in two games with Philly. He displayed good on-ice awareness and a solid shot.
He figures to be a strong contender for a roster spot next season.
Attard, a third-round selection in the 2019 draft, will now help the Phantoms (35-26-6) in their playoff run.
Lehigh Valley’s magic number for clinching a playoff spot was reduced to three points after Friday’s 5-2 win over Charlotte. Cooper Marody had three points, and Elliot Desnoyers and Louie Belpedio each had a goal and an assist.
Sam Ersson had 29 saves for the Phantoms, who have won five of their last six.
As for the Philadelphia Flyers, they will take a five-game losing streak into Saturday’s night game against the host New York Islanders.
