Steady Ivan Provorov again rocking the mercurial Flyers

The degree of difficulty on Claude Giroux’s first goal was a near-10.

Travis Koneny’s goal, splitting two Bruins and deking through Patrice Bergeron before short-siding it in, was otherworldly.

And the guy who enabled both? Well that may be the most promising part of the Flyers’ surge toward a playoff berth. The Ivan Provorov of the first two months of the season is the Ivan Provorov of the last two weeks of this one. The point guard aspect on offense, the steady traffic cop in his own end. Sunday’s 4-3 overtime victory over the red-hot Boston Bruins was the latest in a string of business-card performances that should bolster any hopes that his team could make some noise when the playoffs begin April 11.
