The Philadelphia Flyers made a couple of moves for their future by re-signing goaltender Michal Neuvirth and forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare on Wednesday.
The deals were announced as multi-year contracts. Neuvirth now has the pole position to be the Flyers' starter next season after he and Steve Mason were each set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Neuvirth, 28, has appeared in 24 games, starting 21 and has a 10-9-1 record with a .887 save percentage and a 2.90 goals against average.
The 31-year-old Bellemare has six points in 62 games.
