Alain Vigneault’s system is working and it becomes more and more evident as they continue to progress through the season. The Flyers are playing an up-tempo style of hockey that is exciting to watch. Not only that, they are in constant relentless pursuit of the puck. This makes for a style of hockey that Flyers fans haven’t seen in some time.
The Flyers’ special teams have been where this change is most noticeable. Although the season is young, the improvements on both the penalty kill and the power play have visibly improved.

Last season, the Flyers’ penalty kill was ranked 26th in the league.
