Lehigh Valley, PA – The Philadelphia Flyers, parent club of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, have returned on loan goaltender Anthony Stolarz.

JustSports PhotographyA 21-year-old netminder from Edison, New Jersey, Stolarz was recalled on an emergency basis yesterday and served as Steve Mason’s backup in Philadelphia’s 3-2 shootout setback against the Los Angeles Kings last evening.

Stolarz is off to an impressive start to the 2015-2016 season having produced a 5-3-1 record in nine starts with Lehigh Valley. He currently boasts the AHL’s third-best goals-against average (1.90) coupled with the league’s seventh-best save percentage (.930).
