With the injury of Kevin Connauton, the Philadelphia Flyers were forced to recall a player from the Phantoms. That's what they did today by bringing defenseman Linus Hogberg under emergency conditions.
He will be wearing #84 and will certainly make his NHL debut tomorrow against the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.
Hogberg is described as a defenseman with good skating abilities and who can move the puck well. He could become a solid bottom-pair defenseman in the NHL according to people who saw him play. He was a 5th round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft.
The 6 foot 1 defenseman has played 57 games with the Phantoms this season, registering seven assists.
