The Philadelphia Flyers have traded the rights to center Cooper Marody to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, according to general manager Ron Hextall.

The Flyers acquire the New Jersey Devils' third-round pick in 2019 in the trade, which was previously acquired by Edmonton.

Marody, who is in his third season at the University of Michigan, was selected by the Flyers in the sixth round (158th overall) of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

The Flyers have earned points in three straight games (2-0-1) and return to action on Thursday at the Wells Fargo Center when they take on the New York Rangers. Puck drop is 7 p.m. on NBC Sports Philadelphia or listen live on the radio at 93.3 WMMR.
