Flyers announce roster move with goaltender

Sandstrom has not been waived but has instead been assigned to the Flyers' AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, for a conditioning stint.
This decision comes after several weeks of uncertainty but is now officially confirmed, clarifying the Flyers' goaltending situation. The team will continue with Carter Hart as their starting goaltender and Samuel Ersson as the backup.
Sandstrom's performance in Philadelphia has not been impressive, with only three wins in 25 NHL games played, a high 3.62 goals-against average, and a .887 save percentage. These statistics indicate that his level of play is more suitable for the AHL, if anything...
The hope is that Sandstrom can use this conditioning stint to rediscover his form and contribute positively to the Phantoms. However, it appears there is no longer room for him in the Philadelphia Flyers' goaltending lineup, with Samuel Ersson taking on the prominent role of backing up Carter Hart.
