GLENS FALLS, NY – The Adirondack Phantoms,
proud AHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers,
announced today that the Flyers have reassigned
goaltender Michael-Lee Teslak to the Wheeling Nailers
(ECHL) and reassigned goalie Nic Riopel to his junior
team, the Moncton Wildcats (QMJHL).
Riopel, 20, made his professional debut as Adirondack’s
opening night starter on October 3rd vs. Worcester.
In 10 starts with the Phantoms this season, the
Beloeil, Quebec native posted a 4-6-0 record, with
a 3.35 goals-against average and a 0.893 save percentage;
he was on the rise, winning three of his last five
appearances. Riopel was drafted by the Flyers in
the 5th round (142nd overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry
Draft and signed a standard AHL contract
with Philadelphia on August 11, 2009. Last season
with Moncton (QMJHL) he was awarded the Jacques
Plante Memorial Trophy for having the lowest goals-against
average (2.01) in the league, which was a new QMJHL
record, and was selected as the 2008-09 QMJHL MVP,
being awarded the Michel Briere Memorial Trophy.
Teslak, 23, made his first appearance for the Phantoms
this season last Saturday, making 28 saves in a
7-4 win over the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins
at the Civic Center. The Fernie, British Columbia
native has played in 12 ECHL games for the Elmira

the last two years, posting a 5-5-0 record with
a 3.06 goals-against average and a 0.907 save percentage.
Teslak signed with the Flyers as a free agent on
March 19, 2008.
