In 48 games this season, Gostisbehere has five goals and 15 assists. His last goal came on December\u00a029th. He had recorded three points in his last three games, however.<\/p>\n<p>If Gostisbehere is to miss extended time, there is a chance the team will call up prospect <strong>Philippe Myers<\/strong> from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. GM Chuck Fletcher spoke earlier about Myers and his readiness for the NHL. Another candidate for a potential call up is <strong>Mark Friedman<\/strong>. He has been impressive for the Phantoms this season<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Fletcher said that Philippe Myers has been consistently good of late for the Phantoms and has earned a shot in NHL when the opportunity presents. Fletcher said he won&#8217;t trade vets just to clear space for young players but he does hope Myers can get some NHL games soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bill Meltzer (@billmeltzer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/billmeltzer\/status\/1089930664244334593?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January 28, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Flyers hope, though, that this is not a serious injury for Gostisbehere.
