Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Egor Zamula cleared waivers unclaimed on Friday after being placed on them the previous day. The 25-year-old, 6-foot-3 defender will report to the team's AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, maintaining organizational depth.
Following his placement on waivers on December 18 amid limited NHL ice time, Egor Zamula went unclaimed by any of the other 31 NHL teams, as reported by Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. This outcome allows the Flyers to assign the Russian blueliner to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms without losing him.
Zamula appeared in 13 games this season for Philadelphia, logging one assist, 15 blocks, and a plus-4 rating. Over his Flyers career spanning six seasons and 168 games, he has tallied eight goals, 33 assists, 41 points, and 218 blocks. The AHL stint offers development opportunities at age 25, with potential for NHL recall as needed.
