Flyers' Felix Sandstrom: Wins season debut

Sandstrom made 24 saves in a 4-2 win over the Senators on Saturday.

It was Sandstrom's NHL season debut. Vladimir Tarasenko beat him on a backhand from the right circle on a 2-on-1 rush early in the second, and Thomas Chabot scored on a one-timer from the bottom of the right circle at 18:02 of the third with his team's net empty. Sandstrom hasn't had a great year in the AHL, but he was sharp when he needed to be Saturday. He struggled in the backup role with the Flyers in 2022-23, going 3-12-3 in 18 starts (20 appearances) and delivering a 3.72 GAA and an .880 save percentage. Leave Sandstrom on the wire until he proves this year is different.
