Source: Tim Panaccio @tpanotchCSNFlyers have recalled Alt, Akeson and Lauridsen today
STREIT, COLAIACOVO OUT; TRIO RECALLED
Prior to the Flyers-Sharks matinee at the Wells Fargo Center, Flyers GM Ron Hextall announced the following injury update and transactions.
Defensemen Carlo Colaiacovo and Mark Streit will not play today due to flu-like symptoms.
Defensemen Oliver Lauridsen and Mark Alt, and forward Jason Akeson have been recalled by the Flyers under emergency conditions. Alt will wear jersey No. 39, while Lauridsen will wear No. 38.
Alt will make his Flyers and NHL debut, making him the sixth player in the Flyers line-up to make their NHL debut (Bellemare, Cousins, Gostisbehere, Straka & Zepp) this season.
He has seven points (1g-6a) in 33 games for Lehigh Valley this season, his second with the Phantoms, after posting four goals and 22 assists for 26 points in his rookie campaign in 2013-14. The Flyers acquired his rights from Carolina on January 13, 2013 and signed him to an entry-level contract in April of 2013.
Lauridsen was recalled earlier in the season (Jan. 19) but did not play. This would be his first game of the season and first since the 2012-13 season, when he recorded two goals and an assist in 15 games.
The 6-6, 220-lb defenseman is one of two players to appear in all 64 games for the Phantoms this season, recording three goals, three assists and 128 PIM.
Akeson re-joins the Flyers after appearing in the first 12 games of the season, going scoreless. He is third on the Phantoms in scoring with 42 points in 46 games, including 20 goals and 22 assists.
So the defense is Del Zotto, Grossmann, Lauridsen, Manning, Schultz, and Alt.....
well then...
Ahhh Lauridsen.... our team's future #1 D man!

Nice to see Alt, but I wouldn't have minded Hagg as well.
Think about how that would look back when we were at the beginning of this season, before MDZ and Schultz proved to not be terrible...
for this must lose game the tank is on. Ok hextall!
So now after Straka and Laughton it's back to Akeson? How are these call ups not random?
Akeson's the 13th forward. The other two need to play so getting top minutes down there is more important than sitting in the pressbox or getting bottom minutes up here.
Crossed my mind, but I was kinda hoping Akson falls in that category too. Som bum like Rosehill should be the 13th man. Well, here's hoping Vinny sits this one out.
Akeson's destined for Europe next year IMO.

I think so too. He's not good enough to play in the NHL full time and I'm sure he doesn't want to be in the AHL forever.
