Who exactly stood out in the Flyers 6-3 win over the Islanders in East Meadow? Let’s get to it with our Postgame Review. 

Oskar Lindblom picked up five points, including a hat trick, in the Flyers 6-3 win over the Islanders in a Rookie Game held in East Meadow, NY.

The Flyers and New York Islanders will face off once again in a prospects game at 6 p.m. in East Meadow, NY. The game will be live-streamed on the Islanders website.

On Monday, the Flyers open rookie camp and Phil Myers is among the participants. But for him, rookie camp and the subsequent training camp to follow will take on a new meaning with a possible roster spot on the line.

For the Flyers, the conversation seemingly grows every year with more and more prospects nearing the NHL level. That is no different this season, as training camp will feature a number of prospects vying for the chance to make the NHL roster. Here are five prospects to watch throughout training camp.

Carter Hart wore the number 31 in the AHL with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and will keep the number this season, should he be in Allentown. In juniors, he wore No. 70 and that figured to be the number he would take to the NHL. But it seems a new number will be Hart’s choice whenever he makes his NHL debut.

Ron Hextall’s goal from the day he took over as GM has been to build the Flyers into a Stanley Cup contender. With the roster where it is now, how close are the Flyers to being a true contender?

With the Flyers offseason plan essentially complete — with the exception of training camp happenings — have the Flyers done enough to show improvement in key areas from a season ago?

The future of the Flyers is getting closer and there should be some excitement coming into camp. Here are just a few players that may get an extended look in training camp.

It’s easy to consider Carter Hart as the goalie of the future for the Flyers, especially with both Michal Neuvirth and Brian Elliott’s contracts ending in two seasons. Hart led the WHL in GAA, save percentage and shutouts last season and was CHL Goaltender of the Year for the second consecutive season.
