As the Flyers look to close their series against Montreal tonight, a question that’s been on the mind of many is whether the Flyers are getting enough out of their best players. Particularly up until Game 5, in which Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier, and Jakub Voracek finally really put a dent on the scoreboard with seven points between them across the Flyers’ three goals, a lot of the same kinds of questions that have hung over this team’s last three playoff series were hanging over this one. The target has shifted a bit following Game 5 —people have slowly started noticing that the Flyers are generating close to literally nothing without those three guys on the ice and have instead moved their attention towards the meager production of the likes of Travis Konecny and Kevin Hayes — but the question of production from the top of the lineup, however you define that, is going to continue.
Should the Flyers be leaning on their top forwards a little more?
