Injury Report: Feb. 26: Emery placed on injured reserve; Mason activated

what was the point in calling up stolarz a 2nd time and sending him back down after 1 game? obviously they wouldn't have done that if they had 100% confidence Mason was truly ready. im tired of this organization mistreating injured players.

what was the point in calling up stolarz a 2nd time and sending him back down all before the next game is played?

He was called up on an emergency 48 hour basis and those 48 hours ran out.

The Flyers returned rookie Anthony Stolarz to AHL Lehigh Valley yesterday. Without Stolarz unexpectedly returning today - or regular Ray Emery rejoining the team in Toronto with his nagging "lower-body" injury - that means Mason will be required to reinforce starter-du-jour Rob Zepp.

The Flyers used an "emergency goaltender exemption" to add Stolarz, 21, to the roster this week. It is a 48-hour, temporary designation that allows them to exceed the 23-man roster limit. Those 48 hours would have expired before tonight's game.

To prevent Mason from suiting up, the Flyers could have used their second and final goaltender exemption of the season - a move that would have made sense considering rosters are not subject to the same 23-man limit after Monday's trade deadline.

Otherwise, they would have needed to place a player on waivers by noon yesterday to make some kind of other demotion in order to keep Stolarz.
