Syvret gets the call; Jones out a week.

The Flyers have recalled 23-year old Phantoms’ defenseman Danny Syvret to replace injured defenseman Randy Jones.  Jones tweaked his hip/groin in the second period against the New York Rangers on Sunday.

“It is still pretty tender today.  I’m still getting treatment, but it is still pretty sore,” said Jones. “I am getting, by but it’s not like it’s life or death, that’s for sure.”

Syvret has been a warrior for the Phantoms this season, scoring 11 goals and 37 assists in 65 games.  He is ranked second in the AHL in points for a defenseman.  Syvret played 16 games with the Edmonton Oilers in 2006-07.  He tallied just one assist during that time.

Syvret came to Philadelphia in a trade for center Ryan Potulny in early 2008.  Seen as a project, the defenseman began to flurish in Philadelphia under the coaching of John Paddock.  And for all his hard work and production, the Flyers are rewarding him with a shot.  He will wear number 26.
