The Flyers have signed a goalie to an amateur tryout.
As Denver Barkey heads back to the London Knights after spending the last couple of months watching the Philadelphia Flyers' training camp from the sidelines, he reflects on his recovery from illness and coming back a stronger player than before.
The Philadelphia Flyers have signed goaltender Kyle Konin to an amateur tryout agreement. This news comes with the Flyers announcing that goaltender Aleksei Kolosov will be sidelined for their matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning due to a lower-body injury.
With Kolosov suffering a sudden injury and Samuel Ersson also being injured, the Flyers only had one available goalie on their NHL roster. Now, they have Konin as a backup in the event that Ivan Fedotov gets injured.
Konin is currently an emergency backup in Tampa Bay, where the Flyers are playing on Thursday night. He last dressed as an emergency backup for the Bolts during the 2023-24 campaign.
