Pederson posted three assists in AHL Lehigh Valley's 7-3 win over Springfield on Friday.
All three of Pederson's multi-point efforts this year have come in the last three games. He's up to five goals, 10 points, 21 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 13 outings. Pederson could be a veteran call-up option for the Flyers later in the year if these gains on offense are here to stay.
