The Philadelphia Flyers have secured defenseman David Jiricek’s future with the organization, announcing a two-year contract extension worth $3 million on Wednesday.<\/p>

The 22-year-old Czech defenseman became a Flyer through a March 6 trade deal that saw forward Bobby Brink head to the Minnesota Wild. While Jiricek has not yet appeared in a game for Philadelphia’s NHL roster, he remains with the organization.<\/p>

Since joining the Flyers system, Jiricek has been making his mark with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, Philadelphia’s American Hockey League team. In 10 appearances with the Phantoms, he has contributed 10 points through two goals and eight assists.<\/p>

Originally selected sixth overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2022 NHL Draft, Jiricek brings NHL experience to his new contract. Throughout his professional career spanning 84 games between Columbus and Minnesota, he has accumulated 13 points with two goals and 11 assists.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
