Lehigh Valley Phantoms News Release
Lehigh Valley, PA - The Lehigh Valley Phantoms, proud AHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers, have recalled from loan goaltender Martin Ouellette from the Reading Royals of the ECHL. A 23-year-old netminder from Saint-Jerome, Quebec, Ouellette appeared in eight games for the Phantoms last season posting a 3-2 record to go along with a 2.90 goals-against average coupled with a .890 save percentage. He spent the bulk of last year in Reading where he compiled a 17-10-2 mark, 2.91 goals-against average and .907 save percentage in 29 games with the Royals.
Ouellette's recall to Lehigh Valley comes on the heels of goaltender Jason LaBarbera's recall to the Flyers yesterday afternoon. LaBarbera served as Michal Neuvirth's backup during Philadelphia's 1-0 home-opening victory last evening over the Florida Panthers.
Before kick starting his professional career last season, Ouellette spent four years at the University of Maine from 2010 to 2014 during which he amassed a 28-33-14 record to go along with a 2.52 goals-against average and .913 save percentage in 82 games.
The Phantoms hit the road for the first time during the 2015-2016 season this weekend as the team travels to Springfield on Friday for a 7:05 p.m. showdown with the Falcons before invading the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday for a 4:05 p.m. rivalry contest with the Penguins. Both games will be available on Fox 1470 AM, online at fox1470.com or through the iHeartRadio app with the "Countdown to Faceoff" pregame show beginning 45 minutes before puck drop.
The Phantoms are then back at PPL Center on Saturday, October 24 when the team kicks off a four-game home stand with a 7:05 p.m. tilt with the Providence Bruins. The first 8,500 fans in attendance that evening will receive a free magnet schedule presented by Capital BlueCross and Pita King.
