SIGN UP HERE Abols, a 6-foot-4 center, saw 22 games with the Flyers. He had two goals, three assists and a minus-10 mark. He made his NHL debut in January at 29 years old.
"Me and my wife were laughing about it, it's not your ordinary debut when you have a wife and a 3-year-old in the stands cheering you on for the solo lap," the Latvian native said then. "Hopefully I can inspire someone. I've always looked at Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, who actually came here, as well, in Philly. He had kind of a similar story — played in Sweden, came over here and carved out a good NHL career. Hopefully I can do something similar."
In 47 regular-season games with AHL affiliate Lehigh Valley, Abols put up 15 goals and 17 assists. He had a pair of goals over seven playoff games.
