Flyers acquire goalie Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit in a trade with the Maple Leafs

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Flyers acquired goaltender Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit in a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

They sent goalie Samuel Ersson, defenseman Emil Andrae and a third-round pick in this year’s draft to the Leafs.
