The Flyers claimed McKenna off of waivers on Friday.

McKenna was waived by Vancouver, which had acquired him from Ottawa via trade on Wednesday.

The 35-year-old has an .897 save percentage in 10 NHL games this season.

He’ll be a free agent at season’s end.

The Flyers have already used six goalies this season: Brian Elliott, Calvin Pickard, Carter Hart, Anthony Stolarz, Michal Neuvirth, and Alex Lyon.

Neuvirth is currently out with a lower-body injury, necessitating the claim of McKenna.
