The Philadelphia Flyers announced the club has signed defenseman Egor Zamula to a one-year, $775,000 contract extension according to Interim General Manager, Daniel Briere.

Zamula, 23 (3/30/00), collected four assists in 14 games with the Philadelphia Flyers and 19 points (1-18=19), 14 penalty minutes (PIM) and 64 shots in 44 contests with Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League (AHL) during the 2022-23 season. The 6-foot-3, 177-pound native of Chelyabinsk, Russia, tallied his first NHL point with an assist, Oct. 18 at Tampa Bay and recorded his first career multi-point game (2a), March 21 vs. Florida. The left-shot skater ranked fourth on the Phantoms with nine power-play assists (PPA) and third among team defensemen in assists and T-3rd in scoring. He tallied a season-high three-game point streak (3a), Dec. 9-16 and registered three multi-point games. The blueliner did not play with Lehigh Valley during the 2023 Calder Cup Playoffs due to a left-shoulder injury. He underwent successful surgery on April 10 and is expected to make a full recovery for training camp this September.
