Let’s dig into the Flyers latest win — a 5-3 road win over the Rangers in New York on Sunday afternoon — and their sixth-straight overall, with ten things I liked and didn’t like.
1. The new (old) power play keeps clicking
After spending long periods of time this season experimenting with all kinds of different stuff on the man-advantage to varying degrees of failure, the Flyers recently made a change to a more familiar power play setup and have reaped the benefits.
The Flyers connected on three of their five power plays on Sunday afternoon with Claude Giroux in his usual office to the right of the netminder and Jakub Voracek at the high circle on the opposite side.
