The Flyers finally got back to winning ways last night in an impressive 4-3 win over the Rangers. It’s easy to look at the return of Claude Giroux as the main catalyst for the teams’ change of fortunes, there is another that demands praise.
The Flyers had a season-high 39 shots on goal in the victory over New York. Their average shots per game through the opening 15 games sat at a measly 23.3 and the previous season-high was 31. Overall, they outshot the Rangers 72-50 which comes as a stark contrast to what we had seen in previous games.
