The Flyers opened Day 2 of the draft by staying put. The second round came and went, and the Flyers were back on the clock with the 70th overall pick.
With the 70th overall pick, the Flyers addressed goaltending, taking Swedish goalie Felix Sandstrom.
The 6'2", 192-pound netminder played games at four different levels in Sweden last season, while battling injury and ailment for much of the season.
The Flyers hold another third-round pick at 90th overall and two picks in the fourth round at 98 and 99.
