VANCOUVER - About midway through every Flyers practice, there's a brief break while some players change their uniform color from that of their regular linemates to that of their special-teams unit.
Sunday's practice at the University of British Columbia was no different.
Maybe the emphasis and importance of that part of practice was elevated, though, because the recipe for why the Flyers are lacking in the scoring department - and in turn, the winning column - lies right in their special teams.
The team that ranked 25th in even-strength goals (149) last season made up for it with 60 goals on the power play, good for a tie for second in the league, just more than 40 percent of the Flyers' total goal output.
