According to a team announcement<\/a>, the Philadelphia Flyers have recalled veteran forward Garrett Wilson<\/a>. The Flyers recently elevated<\/a> Wilson to an NHL contract before the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

Although he has never played a game for Philadelphia, Wilson, 34, has been a part of the organization for the last six years, exclusively playing for the AHL\u2019s Lehigh Valley Phantoms. If he enters a contest for the Flyers, it\u2019ll be his first NHL appearance since April 16th, 2019, when the Pittsburgh Penguins were eliminated in the playoffs by the New York Islanders.<\/p>\n

Still, he has remained a consistent secondary scorer in the AHL and has served as captain of the Phantoms for the last three years. Throughout his six-year tenure with the club, Wilson has registered 62 goals and 148 points in 341 games with 789 PIMs.<\/p>\n

Since the Flyers aren\u2019t dealing with any new injury concerns, there\u2019s no guarantee that Wilson will enter the lineup during his recall. Philadelphia is only five points back of the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference and has an important contest against the Columbus Blue Jackets this evening.<\/p>\n

If he were to play, it would assuredly be on the Flyers\u2019 fourth line. Since he doesn\u2019t have much NHL experience as a center, it would mean that either Garnet Hathaway<\/a> or Nikita Grebenkin<\/a> would come out of the lineup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to a team announcement, the Philadelphia Flyers have recalled veteran forward Garrett Wilson.
