Before this week begins, it's time for our weekly check-in on the Flyers' prospects.
Anthony Stolarz, G, 24, 6-6/232, Reading (ECHL)
It was a long road back but Stolarz found his way back on the ice last week.
Stolarz began his rehab stint with the Royals and it doesn't appear to be a long one. Per Jason Guarente, Stolarz packed up his gear Saturday and appears headed back to Lehigh Valley.
With Reading, Stolarz allowed six goals on 61 shots. As of this post, he has yet to be recalled.
The 24-year-old had been out since last April and underwent left knee surgery in September. Now that he's back on the ice, expect Stolarz to see some AHL action. He's on a one-year deal.
Carter Hart, G, 19, 6-1/177, Everett (WHL)
Well, some disappointing news first. He failed to break the WHL shutout record, allowing one goal in Everett's final regular-season game. He finishes his junior career with 26 shutouts.
Hart enjoyed one of the best junior seasons ever from a goalie and dominated the WHL. He led the league in goals-against average (1.60), save percentage (.947) and shutouts (7). The disparity between Hart and the No. 2 goalie, Cole Kehler, in GAA is remarkable. Hart finished with more than a goal better average than Kehler's 2.77. Griffin Outhouse was second in save percentage, with .914. Hart was head and shoulders above his peers in the WHL.

Up next, the WHL playoffs. Then next season, the AHL. Hart watch is ramping up.
Morgan Frost, C, 18, 5-11/172, Sault Ste. Marie (OHL)
Frost's quest to lead the OHL in points came up short but the Flyers' "other" 2017 first-round pick finished his draft-plus-1 season as a 1.67 point-per-game player.
The 18-year-old's regular season ended Sunday with a goal and an assist. He finished the season with 42 goals, 70 assists and 112 points and led the OHL as a plus-70 player. Next up is the OHL playoffs.
Let's cool the jets on the Frost on the Flyers talk next season. There is a chance he outshines the competition in training camp but he still needs to bulk up a considerable amount.
