The Flyers have claimed Lukas Sedlak on waivers from the Avalanche.

Sedlak came back to North American after three years in the KHL and was a plus-1 in his first three games with the Avalanche. He was waived on Tuesday and is headed to Philadelphia after being claimed on Wednesday. Sedlak will likely replace Jackson Cates in the Flyers' bottom-6 moving forward.

Sedlak will make his NHL debut on Friday.

Sedlak, 23, was a healthy scratch in the first two games of the year, but the sixth round pick will draw into the lineup for his NHL debut tonight. Sedlak had 18 points (14G / 4A) in 54 games with Lake Erie (AHL) a season ago. He will replace Sam Gagner in the lineup.
