Flyers recall forward Olle Lycksell from AHL Lehigh Valley

The Philadelphia Flyers have appeared to recall forward Olle Lycksell from the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms, per the team’s roster page on the NHL media site. The news was first reported by NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Jordan Hall.

Looks like Flyers have called up Olle Lycksell. He's on their roster on NHL media page. We'll see if Sean Couturier will be available tonight.

Lycksell has enjoyed a great season with the Phantoms so far, posting 9 goals and 15 assists for 24 points in 25 games. The 25-year-old notched his second career AHL hat trick on Friday night to cap off a four-point performance in a dominant 7-2 win over Toronto.

Lycksell has previously appeared in 26 games in the NHL with the Flyers over parts of two seasons. The 2017 sixth-round draft pick recorded his first NHL goal last season on April 6th in a 6-2 loss at Columbus and has 6 total points (1g, 5a) with Philadelphia.

Lycksell’s recall comes after Sean Couturier missed morning skate ahead of Saturday’s game against Columbus (7:00pm; NBCSP). Scott Laughton filled in at Couturier’s spot on the top line. Head coach John Tortorella said there would be no lineup changes aside from Cam York stepping in for the recently-demoted Emil Andrae, but the situation is worth monitoring.
