Flyers Today: What is Wade Allison still doing in the AHL?

We could see Hayden Hodgson make his NHL debut tonight. He has been recalled from Lehigh Valley under emergency conditions. We'll know more about it after the morning skate.

1. Wade Allison is killing it with the Phantoms. He's arguably their best players. Last night, he scored the only goal of his team in a 5-1 loss.

Allison has 13 points in 11 games this season, and 9 points in his last 4 games. So, what is he doing in the AHL? He'll be without a doubt a better option than Max Willman.

But here's an explanation on why Allison with the Flyers yet: he has been injured for the majority of the season. The team certainly wants him to play a maximum of games before calling him up. Also, it's important to note that Philadelphia has only 2 regulars call up left until the end of the campaign.

2. Claude Giroux will make his debut with the Panthers tonight against Montreal. It's officially the beginning of a new era for him. He'll be playing alongside Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe on the first line.

3. The Flyers are the worst team in the NHL since January 1st, with only 7 wins in 32 games. If they continue like that, fans could probably begin to dream about Shane Wright.
