With Michael Leighton sidelined indefinitely with a high ankle sprain, the Flyers announced today that they have recalled goaltender Jeremy Duchesne (DOO-shayn) on an emergency basis from their American Hockey League affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms, according to club General Manager Paul Holmgren. Duchesne will be available to play in Thursday’s Flyers-Stars game at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas and will wear uniform # 67. Duchesne, 23, has appeared in two games with Adirondack this season, posting a 1-1-0 record with a 1.02 goals-against average and .981 save percentage. His win this year came in the form of a shutout in which he stopped all 28 shots to lead the Phantoms to a 4-0 victory over the Providence Bruins on Mar. 13. This is the first time he has been recalled to the National Hockey League.
