Flyers acquire rights to G Bryzgalov from Coyotes by The Sports Network

The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired the rights to goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov.

The club announced Tuesday that the rights to the 30-year-old unrestricted free agent were procured from Phoenix for minor leaguer Matt Clackson, a third-round draft pick in 2012 and a conditional draft pick.

Bryzgalov made $4.5 million in 2010-11 for the Coyotes. He finished with a 36-20-10 mark, 2.48 goals-against average and seven shutouts in 68 games (67 starts).

Acquired off waivers from Anaheim in November 2007, just months after he was a part of the Ducks’ Stanley Cup win, Bryzgalov was the runner-up for the Vezina Trophy in 2010 after going 42-20-6 with eight shutouts and a 2.29 GAA.

Since breaking in with Anaheim during the 2001-02 season, the Russian has racked up a 156-116-35 record, 2.53 GAA and 23 whitewashes in 326 games (312 starts) with the Mighty Ducks/Ducks and Coyotes.

In 27 playoff tilts, he has gone 12-13 with a 2.55 GAA and .917 save percentage.

Bryzgalov also represented Russia in three Olympics (2002, 2006, 2010), winning a bronze medal in ’02. He also took home a gold medal at the 2009 World Championships and a silver in 2000.

With free agency set for July 1, any team which acquires the services of an unrestricted free agent can negotiate a contract with the player up until that date.

The Flyers attempted to do so after acquiring the rights to Nashville defenseman Dan Hamhuis last summer, but were ultimately unable to come to terms and he was dealt to Pittsburgh before ending up signing with Vancouver.
