Morgan Frost is getting his second opportunity in the NHL, as the Flyers recalled the young center Friday evening.
In 18 games played so far for the Flyers, Frost accumulated seven points. This stat is not poor by any means, but he was losing top line minutes. Obviously, Frost would gain better development in the AHL with Lehigh Valley than be forced onto the fourth line.

His eight points (3G, 5A) in 14 games shows his production in Lehigh Valley. He has flown around the ice, and had a nice two-goal game on January 15th, with one being a coast-to-coast beauty:
With the Flyers struggling to find a center, it’s a good move to allow the kid to get a second chance.
