2019-20 Player Review: Scott Laughton’s season defined by puck luck, utility

It was only a few seasons ago that it looked as though Scott Laughton was a bust. Although he may not live up to his potential of going 20th overall in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft it’s safe to say the former OHLer serves a beneficial role for the Philadelphia Flyers at the NHL level. After a few rough seasons for himself and the penalty kill, Laughton was part of a special teams’ unit that finally moved up to the top half of the league in terms of success for the first time since 2013-14 and managed to deposit his highest number of goals in a single season despite playing under 50 games.
