TWO MORE PHANTOMS MAKE NHL DEBUTS

Andreas Nodl made his NHL for the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday October 22nd against the San Jose Sharks at the Wachovia Spectrum.

Then on Thursday, Darroll Powe was recalled by the Flyers and made his NHL debut the next night in the Flyers' 6-3 win on the road against the New Jersey Devils. Powe took ten shifts and totaled seven minutes of ice time. The two joined Jared Ross in making their NHL debuts in the first two weeks of the season.
