Justin Braun was expected to provide solid penalty killing and defensive presence on the blueline. More of a bottom pair player at this juncture of his career, Braun may be the most consistent Flyers‘ blue liner this season. He has played in 21 game this season, with only Sanheim and Provorov playing more on the blueline.
