A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece examining the impact that Matt Niskanen has had on Ivan Provorov since he joined the Philadelphia Flyers. After being traded from the Washington Capitals in June of 2019, Matt Niskanen began his 13 NHL season as a member of the Flyers. He was placed on the first defensive pair with 23-year-old phenom Ivan Provorov. Through 56 games played together, Provorov’s offensive numbers (10 goals, 18 assists, 28 points) have already surpassed last season’s (7 goals, 19 assists, 26 points) and his overall play has appeared more confident and energized.
