Sources: Flyers re-sign goalie Leighton

Share

Michael Leighton has re-signed with the Flyers, according to club sources.

Which means he likely ends up as their backup to Ilya Bryzgalov.

Leighton signed a one-year, 900,000 contract, according to Sportsnet. That price is a bargain for an NHL backup and especially since the Flyers went into free agency with about 12 million to play with.

Leighton spent last season with the Phantoms.
