Lehigh Valley, PA – The Lehigh Valley Phantoms, proud AHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers, have recalled goaltender Martin Ouellette from his loan to the Reading Royals of the ECHL. A 22-year-old netminder from Saint-Hippolyte, Quebec, Ouellette is in the midst of his first professional season and produced a 4-3-2 record to go along with a 2.91 goals-against average and .905 save percentage through his first nine games with Reading.
