Alain Vigneault’s inaugural season as the Philadelphia Flyers head coach acts as another accolade in his coaching resume. His ability to start strong with a plethora of franchises ranks him in the top third of NHL coaches. In the Flyers last season under Dave Hakstol, they were denied a playoff spot while counting on eight different goaltenders. Philadelphia improved significantly from finishing sixth in the Metropolitan Division in 2018-2019 to second in 2019-2020. A jump from a non-playoff team to a top-five team in the league is just the beginning of a championship run.
How close are the Flyers to ending their championship drought?
