Flyers Recall Emil Andrae, Loan Dennis Gilbert to Lehigh Valley

The recall addresses early defensive issues tied to Cam York's absence.

Overview

  • Philadelphia announced the move Sunday, adding the 23-year-old puck-moving defenseman to its NHL roster ahead of Monday's home opener.
  • Dennis Gilbert, who cleared waivers last week, was loaned to Lehigh Valley as the corresponding transaction.
  • Andrae logged two assists in the Phantoms' season-opening win over Belleville and did not dress for Sunday's AHL game before the call-up.
  • The Swedish second-round pick was cut from camp on Oct. 1 and recorded 1 goal and 6 assists in 42 NHL games last season.
  • Local reporting links the switch to third-pair struggles and York's IR status, with the promotion viewed as a potential short-term look.
