Lehigh Valley Phantoms News Release


Lehigh Valley, PA - The Philadelphia Flyers, parent club of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, have recalled from loan goaltender Anthony Stolarz on emergency conditions. Meanwhile, the Phantoms have recalled from loan goaltender Martin Ouellette from the Reading Royals of the ECHL.

A 22-year-old goaltender from Edison, New Jersey, Stolarz is in his second professional season and has produced a 19-15-7 record in 42 games with Lehigh Valley this season to go along with a 2.59 goals-against average coupled with a .916 save percentage. A second-round selection (45th overall) by the Flyers in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, the 6'6", 232-pound netminder had started 13 of Lehigh Valley's last 14 games before his recall.

One of Lehigh Valley's two representatives at the 2016 AHL All-Star Classic, Stolarz set a Phantoms' franchise record with 51 saves in Lehigh Valley's 3-2 shootout win at the Syracuse Crunch earlier this month.

A 24-year-old netminder from Saint-Hippolyte, Quebec, Ouellette is in his second professional campaign and has compiled a 3-4 overall mark in 11 career appearances with the Phantoms. In 30 games with Reading this year, the 6'1", 184-pound goaltender has registered a 17-9-3 mark to go along with a 2.07 goals-against average and .923 save percentage.
