It is understandable that the Flyers have recalled Andrae, as Nick Seeler is currently sidelined with an injury. In addition, the Flyers announced that Seeler has been placed on injured reserve, retroactive to Oct. 1.

With this recall, Andrae now has a golden opportunity to leave a good impression. It will be intriguing to see how much of an impact the youngster can make while with the NHL squad from here.
