Zolnierczyk Again Skates with Flyers

The Adirondack Phantoms have announced that former Brown standout Harry Zolnierczyk has been recalled by the Philadelphia Flyers after a brief loan to the AHL last week according the Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren. Zolnierczyk returns to the big club after playing last Wednesday, Friday and Saturday with the Phantoms during the NHL All-Star Break.

The Ivy League Player of the Year made his NHL debut on October 18 and scored a highlight-reel caliber goal at Ottawa that was featured on ESPN SportsCenter and other highlight shows in his first game with the Flyers. He was called up again on October 30 and stayed with the Flyers for 34 games scoring three goals and two assists. "Harry Z" scored one goal last week with the Phantoms and has six goals in 12 games this season for Adirondack.
