McGinn Recalled by Flyers

November 2, 2013 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Adirondack Phantoms News Release


The Philadelphia Flyers have announced that Tye McGinn (F) has been recalled from loan by the Philadelphia Flyers from the Adirondack Phantoms. McGinn will be available for Philadelphia's game tonight at the New Jersey Devils.

Tye McGinn, 23, is coming off a two-goal performance Friday night for the Adirondack Phantoms in a 3-1 victory over the Binghamton Senators. McGinn has three goals for Adirondack this season in six games and also has three goals for Philadelphia in four games.

McGinn began the season with Adirondack and scored a goal in the team's season opener on October 5 at the Hershey Bears. He was recalled by the Flyers October 12 and stayed with Philadelphia for two weeks playing in four games. He scored the night of his recall on October 12 at Detroit and then scored two more goals on October 15 vs. Vancouver for his first multi-goal game in the NHL.

Last season, McGinn played in 18 games with the Flyers scoring 3-2-5 with 19 penalty minutes. He also played in 46 games with Adirondack scoring 14-12-26 with 54 PIM. The younger brother of NHL'er Jamie McGinn is in his third season of professional hockey. Tye McGinn had something of a dream-week at the end of January last year.

On January 22, 2013 he made his NHL debut against the New Jersey Devils shortly after his first in-season recall by the Flyers. A couple days later he won over many of the Flyers fans with his first NHL fight against Kris Newbury of the New York Rangers who is now teammates with McGinn in Philadelphia. And then on January 26, McGinn scored his first NHL goal in an away game at the Florida Panthers.

Last year, McGinn established a Phantoms' franchise record when he scored a goal just nine seconds into a game on March 24, 2013 against the Portland Pirates. McGinn was a fourth-round selection of the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft out of the Gatineau Olympics of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

The Flyers and Phantoms are BOTH taking on the Devils Saturday night. Philadelphia is at New Jersey. Adirondack concludes their three-game homestand with a game against the Albany Devils at the Glens Falls Civic Center. It is the last home game for the Phantoms for about three weeks. The Phantoms are on a three-game winning streak entering Saturday night's game.
