Looks like Shea Theodore (his face)

Man I thought this was the guy from The Last Dragon for a second.

I love when undrafted guys work their way all the way up from ECHL to NHL deals. This guy was playing in the LNAH back in 2020, and now he appears headed for at least a cup of coffeee in the NHL!

A nice reward for the fella

Utica fans think he will ever be a 4th liner for the njd, or is this just a reward signing?

Given the veteran forwards in the system I'd imagine it's more of the latter. Also interesting that Thompson was jettisoned the same weekend. I'd imagine it was done to effect the locker room in Utica.

From the Sorel Tracy Eperviers to South Philly.

What a story! NHL debut at 26.

Any relation to former Flyers' prospect Pascal Laberge?

Saw four minutes of ice time in his first game tonight.

Was he injured or what did he do wrong so quickly that he didn't play?

4th line didn't get many minutes overall, with Bastian & Tierney both under 8 1/2 minutes including PK time for both.

Ton of penalties called both ways in this game, including a 5 minute major PP for the Devils which was going to limit his minutes - Devils were also trying to defend a lead in the 3rd period, which further cut down his ice time.

Don't think he did anything wrong or got injured - just more of how the game played out. It happens.
