Bobby Clarke did not win the Calder Trophy as the NHL's rookie of the year. Neither did Bill Barber, Eric Lindros, or Claude Giroux. Or any Flyer, for that matter, since the franchise started in 1967-68. Shayne Gostisbehere could change that. Oh, the swift-skating defenseman is far from the favorite, but he has at least become a part of the rookie-of-the-year conversation. Gostisbehere was recalled from the Phantoms on Nov. 14 and has taken the NHL by storm and re-energized the Flyers. Entering Saturday, he led NHL rookie defensemen in goals (eight) and points (19) despite playing in just 27 games. Chicago winger Artemi Panarin, who entered the weekend leading rookies in goals (16), assists (29), and points (45), is the Calder favorite, though two goalies - Anaheim's John Gibson (1.86 goals-against average, .925 save percentage) and Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck (2.05 GAA, .930 save percentage) - are also strong contenders. - See more at: http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/flyers/366271921.html
