Hat trick for Schenn in prospects scrimmage
Newly acquired Brayden Schenn scored three goals and added an assist as his Team White defeated Team Black, 6-3, in the Flyers' prospects scrimmage today at the SkateZone in Voorhees, N.J.
“It was our first game in about 2 months, so I didn’t know what to expect going into it,” Schenn said. “All I wanted to do is come in and work hard and I got a few breaks out there.”
Schenn, who was acquired from the Kings as part of the Mike Richards trade, scored one of his goals on a penalty shot.
“He’s just a bull on the puck,” Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. “He’s strong on the puck, he makes good plays and he’s a very competitive kid.”
Schenn said: “I learned a lot of new things from Lappy [Ian Laperriere] and the rest of the development team. Now I’m going to go home for the summer and work on that and better myself.”
Niko Hovinen, a 6-7 Finnish goalie, shut out Team Black in the first period.

-exrec.. I totally agree with you. I could care less about Stamkos. He is a one dimensional player and all but disappeared at the end of the year and into the Playoffs.— 1upsman- Paul 'dollars' Holmgren seems to be making all the right moves now.— Romus
- Only Flyers writers would try and get people excited over a 'scrimmage hat trick'. I remember Jon Sim led the preseason in scoring a couple years back, how'd he turn out?? Save it for the regular season.— Billb91
- Billb91-LOL I think Schenn has a tad more pedigree than Jon Simms(no disrespect to him) but c'mon really. He did what he was supposed to do -he squashed inferior competition. That's better than him looking average with those boys. Let's try and give him a fair shot before we destroy him. I think he will be an excellent NHL player— debbyt
