Brandon Manning hustles out of the penalty box and buries a snap shot over the glove hand of Thomas Greiss for his first career NHL goal.

Chalk up another arbitration hearing that won’t be required. This time it’s Brandon Manning’s. The 26-year-old defenseman has agreed on a two-year, $1.95 million deal with the Philadelphia Flyers, according to CSN Philly.

Manning’s hearing was scheduled for next Tuesday. He was the last restricted free agent on the Flyers, after Brayden Schenn re-signed Monday.

Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman was the first to report the Manning signing.

Manning played 56 games for the Flyers in 2015-16, his first full season in the NHL. He had one goal and six assists while logging an average ice time of 16:32.
