The steady march of time stops for no one, and you know what that means—the Flyers are back for another season.
They kicked things off with what was likely a shocking victory to many, as we saw their offensive production veritably explode in a 5-2 win over the Devils, with a depleted lineup, after having averaged around a mere one goal per game over the preseason. And for as much as we’ve wound up for this season talking about how ugly and difficult it’s likely to be, this was a real pleasant surprise.
The Flyers, already hit reasonably hard by the injury bug, headed into this season with a young lineup, and that paid dividends for them.
