After Wednesday's Lehigh Valley Phantoms 7-2 win over the Binghamton Senators, head coach Scott Gordon pulled goaltender Martin Ouellette aside for a quick conversation. After the talk, Ouellette went into the locker room and started packing up his gear while Phantoms' media were collecting quotes from post-game interviews.

Reading between the lines, since Michal Neuvirth practiced earlier this afternoon with the Flyers, it appears that Anthony Stolarz will be reassigned to the Phantoms as soon as tomorrow morning, pending the team's official release on the roster move.

The Flyers host the Buffalo Sabres Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center and Steve Mason will be backed up by Neuvirth, who is ready to return to the Flyers lineup. Unfortunately for the 2nd year pro, Stolarz wasn't able to make his NHL debut on the most recent recall.
