Mark Alt News

Alt has just four assists in 19 AHL games this season and will play his 17th career NHL game tonight vs. the Blues. Alt will replace Mark Barberio who is out with an upper-body injury.

Alt has spent the majority of his career in the AHL, registering 78 points in 260 games across six seasons. He has 0 points and is a -1 in 9 career NHL games. He holds little to no fantasy value.

Alt has picked up five goals and four assists (nine points) in 16 games with the Phantoms this season. Alt has not picked up a point in six games with the Flyers and he has been recalled before Samuel Morin because Morin is dealing with an injury.

Alt has appeared in six NHL games while filling first for an injured Shayne Gostisbehere and now a suspended Radko Gudas. He has swapped places with Samuel Morin and returns to Lehigh Valley, where he has two goals and four assists in 11 games.

The Flyers are heading out on a two-game road trip and both Andrew MacDonald and Samuel Morin still injured, Alt will serve as the Flyers seventh defenseman during the brief trip. The 26-year-old has no points in four games with the Flyers and six points (2G / 4A) in 11 AHL games this season.

Shayne Gostisbehere is banged up, so Samuel Morin was called-up, but it sounds like he is also dealing with an injury, so look for Alt to come up and appear in his second career NHL game. The 26-year-old has scored two goals with four assists (six points) in 10 AHL games this season.

Alt, 25, was a second round pick (No.53) in 2010 but has appeared in just one NHL game since. The 6-foot-4, 201 lbs. defenseman had 11 points (1G / 10A) in 40 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL) a season ago.

Alt, 23, made his NHL debut with the Flyers on March 28th, he was a minus-1 in just 9:25 TOI. His recall suggests that one of the Flyers blue liners is banged up and won’t play this afternoon.

Alt, 23, will make his NHL debut this afternoon vs. the Sharks. Alt was a second round pick (53rd overall) of the Hurricanes back in 2010. In 33 games with Lehigh Valley this season, Alt has registered seven points (1G / 6A).

Alt, 23, had four goals and 22 assists (26 points) in 75 AHL games last season and has one goal in three games with Lehigh this season. With Braydon Coburn and Andrew MacDonald both out for four weeks, Alt's stay with the Flyers might be a lengthy one. Expect him to make his NHL debut on Saturday vs. the Red Wings.

Alt had seven assists in 39 games with the U of Minnesota this season.
