Eetu Makiniemi, once a top goalie prospect for the San Jose Sharks, is now signed with the Philadelphia Flyers after injury challenges affected his career.
The Finnish netminder was initially part of the trade with the Carolina Hurricanes for Brent Burns, highlighting his potential amidst injuries.
In the previous season, Makiniemi had eight wins and a 3.14 GAA in the AHL, showing promise after limited NHL experience with the Sharks.
Due to Alexei Kolosov's absence from training camp, the Flyers needed depth at goaltending, making Makiniemi's signing crucial for the team.
