Semborski suits up as emergency goalie again, this time for Flyers

What a year for Eric Semborski.

The Pennsylvania native, who suited up as the emergency netminder for the Chicago Blackhawks earlier this season, got the call again Saturday.

But this time, Semborski was tapped by his hometown Philadelphia Flyers after starter Michal Neuvirth collapsed on the ice and was relieved by call-up Anthony Stolarz.

Philadelphia's other goalie, Steve Mason, was not available Saturday due to an illness.

Carrying a 3-0 lead with 24 seconds remaining, the Flyers put Semborski in the crease, but the move was short-lived. Philadelphia was not permitted to play a second emergency goalie in the game unless an injury occurred, as Stolarz was already up on emergency recall.

The 23-year-old Semborski last laced up - on a non-emergency basis - in 2014-15, appearing in 22 games for Temple University.
