No one can compare the 2020-2021 season to 2019-2020. The concept of bubble hockey was wild already, but even that has turned upside down. Division opponents will play each other eight times through 56 games. It’s a schedule that has been unheard of in previous hockey history. The sheer volume of repetitive matchups in 2020-2021 calls for a dependency among veterans and, for the Flyers, this means players like Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek.
Both of those players have consistently ranked in the top-five of team scoring since Voracek joined Giroux on the Philadelphia Flyers in 2011.
