Another year, another 82 games where this defense just isn’t going to cut it. Suffice to say, fans are getting used to this. That’s not a good thing. Too often, the Flyers have iced sub-par defense. Too often, it’s been their downfall. This year is no different, but it needs to be.

Ivan Provorov, coming off of a down year, has been much better. Seven points in 11 games puts him on pace to shatter last year’s high of 26 points. His giveaways are still concerning, but there’s plenty of chance for him to redeem himself as the season progresses.
