The Flyers’ Egor Zamula Era came to an end Wednesday.
The defenseman was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for forward Philip Tomasino. Flyers general manager Daniel Briere announced that Tomasino will report to their American Hockey League affiliate Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
Zamula was signed as a free agent by the Flyers in 2018. He spent parts of six seasons with the team, playing in 168 NHL games. He recorded eight goals and 41 points.
Tomasino, 24, was selected by the Nashville Predators in the first round (24th overall) of the 2019 NHL Draft. He was traded last year to the Penguins for a draft pick. The right wing has appeared in 218 NHL games with Nashville and Pittsburgh, totaling 34 goals and 95 points.
During the 2024-25 season with the Penguins, the 6-foot, 187-pound forward recorded 11 goals and 23 points, ranking second on the team with a career-high six game-winning goals, trailing only Sidney Crosby in that category.
This season, Tomasino has appeared in nine NHL games, registering one assist. He has five goals and 15 points in 14 AHL games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, while leading the club in plus/minus at plus-12.
