Phantoms Continue Road Swing Thursday with New Year’s Eve Clash at Hershey
December 30, 2015
Lehigh Valley, PA – The Philadelphia Flyers, parent club of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, have loaned forward Sam Gagner to the Phantoms. The transaction coincides with Philadelphia’s activation of defenseman Mark Streit from injured reserve.
A 26-year-old forward from London, Ontario, Gagner is in the midst of his ninth professional season and has tallied two goals, three assists, five points and 21 penalty minutes in 18 games with the Flyers this season. Across 580 career NHL games, the 5’11”, 202-pound center has amassed 118 goals, 223 assists and 341 points during time with the Edmonton Oilers, Arizona Coyotes and Philadelphia. Gagner was a first-round selection (6th overall) by Edmonton in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
The Phantoms continue their five-game road swing this Thursday when they invade the Giant Center in Hershey for a New Year’s Eve clash with the Bears. Pucks drops at 5:00 p.m. Lehigh Valley then closes its busy week with a weekend series at the Portland Pirates with a 7:00 p.m. showdown on Saturday, January 2 followed by a 4:00 p.m. tilt at Cross Insurance Arena on Sunday, January 3.
