Flyers' activate Streit after sending Gordon to AHL

Make room for Mark Streit.

The Philadelphia Flyers activated the veteran defenseman from the injured reserve Saturday. The 39-year-old had been sidelined since Dec. 14 after suffering a shoulder injury.

To make room for Streit's $5.25-million cap hit, the Flyers loaned center Boyd Gordon to Lehigh Valley (AHL) after he cleared waivers earlier Saturday.

Streit is expected to be in the lineup Saturday when the Flyers take on the Boston Bruins. He has scored five goals and 11 assists in 31 games this season.
