Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Tony DeAngelo has been benched for two consecutive games, including tonight's game against the New York Islanders. This decision was confirmed by Flyers coach John Tortorella to Olivia Reiner of the Philadelphia Inquirer. DeAngelo's benching comes as a surprise to many, as the Flyers have not shown any indication of planning to part ways with him during their ongoing rebuild.

DeAngelo's situation is a peculiar one, as he has shown promise on the ice but has also been involved in controversies off the ice. In January, he was suspended by the New York Rangers for a post-game altercation with his teammate. The Flyers took a chance on him and signed him to a one-year contract, but his recent benching suggests that his future with the team may be uncertain.
