There is a strong chance that Michael Leighton will get the start Tuesday against the Jets. It would be Leighton's second start of the season. Leighton allowed five goals on 26 shots in a 5-1 loss to Tampa on January 27th.

Michael Leighton allowed five goals on 26 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Lightning Sunday. This wasn't how Leighton envisioned his first start of the campaign, certainly. For all the criticism Ilya Bryzgalov has taken, he has yet to perform this poorly. In fairness to Leighton, the Flyers defense corps has been ravaged by injury so he's not entirely to blame for the result.

Michael Leighton will finally start again for the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He last saw the ice during the 2011 series in the Buffalo Sabres series, struggling mightily. His last regular season game was on Dec. 30, 2010, allowing four goals in a win against the Los Angeles Kings. He's unlikely to see many starts with Ilya Bryzgalov grabbing most - but apparently not all - of the team's back-to-back starts.

Michael Leighton has re-signed with the Flyers for one season and $900,000. After trading away Sergei Brobosky to Columbus earlier in the week, Michael Leighton will likely be the Flyer backup goalie behind Ilya Bryzgalov.

Philadelphia Flyers GM Paul Holmgren hinted that Michael Leighton might fill the team's vacated backup spot. After trading away Sergei Bobrovsky, the Flyers have a serious question to answer in the No. 2 spot - especially if Ilya Bryzgalov's struggles weren't a fluke. For all the jokes made at Leighton's expense, it's easy to forget that he's a goalie who fought off struggles in Carolina to help Philly make a deep playoff run only to get shipped down after more bad luck. It's hard to argue against the notion that he doesn't deserve another shot.

Goaltender Michael Leighton cleared re-entry waivers. The Flyers recalled a host of players for their AHL affiliate in Adirondack. One of them was Leighton, who was required to clear re-entry waivers.

Michael Leighton is on re-entry waivers. Leighton isn't expected to play even if he clears. He had a 2.58 GAA and .918 save percentage in 56 games this season with the AHL Adirondack Phantoms.

Veteran goalie Michael Leighton was chosen to participate in the AHL All-Star game. Remember him? Helped the Flyers get to the Stanley Cup finals two years ago before falling apart? He now toils for the Adirondack Phantoms and has done very well this season. We don't expect to see him back in the NHL unless there is an injury.

Michael Leighton has successfully cleared waivers. Leighton will begin the season in the minors. He is in the last season of his two-year/$3.1 million contract, but he's behind goaltenders Ilya Bryzgalov and Sergei Bobrovsky in the depth charts. We don't expect him to have any fantasy value this season.

The Philadelphia Flyers have placed Michael Leighton on waivers. The Flyers already have their goaltending tandem set with Ilya Bryzgalov and Sergei Bobrovsky. Leighton will make $1.55 million this season, but he'll have to earn that salary at a different level.
