Flyers recall forward VandeVelde from Lehigh Valley

The Philadelphia Flyers recalled forward Chris VandeVelde from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League, the team announced Wednesday.

VandeVelde scored two goals in the Phantoms' 5-2 win against the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on opening night. He had an assist and was minus-3 in 18 games for the Flyers last season, and scored 10 goals and 24 points in 41 games at Lehigh Valley.

The Flyers re-signed VandeVelde to a one-year, two-way contract on July 4. He was selected by the Edmonton Oilers in the fourth round (No. 97) of the 2005 NHL Draft.
