Egor Zamula Clears Waivers, Joins Free Agent Pool

Egor Zamula’s Career Movements
Zamula, a 25-year-old forward, had a short stint this season with the Flyers. He played 13 games, where he managed to record one assist. In addition to his time in the NHL, he also played three games for the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms, contributing two assists to his team’s efforts.
