Flyers’ prospect Oliver Bonk scored his first professional goal (and first AHL goal) with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on January 4, 2026, in a 6-1 road win over the Toronto Marlies.
- The goal came shorthanded at 13:32 of the second period, giving the Phantoms a 2-1 lead (which proved to be the game-winning goal).
- It was assisted by Lane Pederson on a rush play during a Toronto power play.
- Bonk, a rookie defenseman and 2023 first-round pick (#22 overall), also added a primary assist later in the game on Garrett Wilson’s goal, finishing with 2 points.
- This was his 11th game with the Phantoms after a late start to the season due to injury.
The Phantoms dominated with four goals in the third period, marking a strong performance for Bonk in his breakout game.
