The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that
they have recalled 6’2’’, 195-pound
defenseman Oskars Bartulis (AWZ-kahrs, bahr-TEW-lihs)
from their American Hockey League affiliate, the
Adirondack Phantoms, according to club General Manager
Paul Holmgren. Bartulis will wear uniform #38 and
be available to play in tonight’s Flyers-Sharks
game at the Wachovia Center.
Bartulis, 22, has two goals and one assist for
three points, and 12 penalty minutes in eight games
with the Phantoms this season. His three points
lead Adirondack’s defense in scoring. In 2008-09,
he appeared in all 80 regular season games with
the Flyers’ AHL affiliate, the Philadelphia
Phantoms, where he posted 13 points (2G,11A) and
59 penalty minutes.
In parts of three seasons with the Phantoms (2007-08
to 2009-10), Bartulis has registered 37 points (5G,32A)
and 113 penalty minutes in 145 career games. He
has also appeared in four Calder Cup Playoff games
with the Phantoms.
A native of Riga, Latvia, Bartulis was originally
selected by the Flyers in the third round (91st
overall) of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft and signed
a three-year entry level contract with the Flyers
on September 23, 2006.
