Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house. Not a Creature was stirring, but something else was – Hockey season. The Flyers kickstart their 2019 in Prague on Friday and this season is extremely important for a million reasons. For Ivan Provorov, it’s all about making a statement.
The former Wheat King signed a six-year contract with the Flyers this offseason. It was a large commitment from the team who drafted him with the 7th overall pick in 2015, especially after a wobbly 2018 that saw Provy’s production drop massively. He still managed 25:07 TOI, but had just 26 total points in comparison to the 41 mustered one year prior.
