Flyers recall Laliberte

The Philadelphia Flyers have recalled right wing David Laliberte from their American Hockey League affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms, according to club General Manager Paul Holmgren.

Laliberte, 23, has one goal and five assists for six points through eight games with the Phantoms this season. He is tied for the team lead in assists (5) and tied for second on the club in points (6). He has also recorded five of his six points on the year in his last four contests, registering at least a point in three of his last four games.

Last season with the Flyers’ AHL affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms, Laliberte posted 48 points (28G,20A) in 70 games, finishing third on the team in goals (28). He also registered one assist in four Calder Cup playoff games with the Phantoms.

In parts of three seasons of play in the AHL (2007-08 to 2009-10), Laliberte has recorded 63 points (32G,31A) and 66 penalty minutes in 105 games, all with the Phantoms.

A native of St-Liboire, Quebec, Laliberte was originally selected by the Flyers in the fourth round (124th overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft and signed a three-year entry level contract with the Flyers on May 17, 2007.
