Flyers
Team Canada, Team Europe, Team Sweden and Team Russia all advanced to the semi-finals of the tournament, eliminating Team USA, Team North America, Team Finland and Team Czech Republic, meaning Flyers Jake Voracek, Sean Couturier, Shayne Gostisbehere and Michal Neuvirth will be returning to the Flyers much sooner than originally anticipated. Claude Giroux, Mark Streit and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare remain in the tournament.
Flyers prospects Travis Konecny and Ivan Provorov are trying to make decisions difficult for the Flyers as training camp begins on Friday.
The Flyers prospects came away with a 4-0 victory over the Islanders prospects on Wednesday night in a prospect game in East Meadow, NY.
In many eyes, Ivan Provorov is NHL ready, but Ron Hextall holds the keys to the defenseman’s NHL debut, and it’s not a lock that it comes this October.
