Bryzgalov attending ECHL’s Las Vegas Wranglers training camp on tryout
Ilya Bryzgalov is gambling that a trip to the minors will get him back to the NHL.
The former Philadelphia Flyers goaltender is attending the ECHL’s Las Vegas Wranglers’ training camp on a tryout. He hopes to parlay that into an NHL deal, according to a source with knowledge of Bryzgalov’s plans.
Bryzgalov, 33, went 19-17-3 with a 2.79 goals-against average and .900 save percentage last season for Philadelphia. He appeared in 40 of 48 regular-season games.
The Flyers bought Bryzgalov out of the final seven years of his US$51-million, nine-year contract. He is receiving $23 million over the next 14 years.
Las Vegas’ regular season starts Oct. 19.
