The Philadelphia Flyers’ power play were comically inept in the previous three seasons before 2025-26. John Tortorella stood by Rocky Thompson, and Thompson stood by what was nothing short of a gong show with the man advantage.

But with a new coach in Rick Tocchet, and a new acquisition in Trevor Zegras, the Flyers power play has been decent 12 games into the season. It still needs work, but there appears to be a bit more light at the end of what was once an extremely dark, dreadful tunnel.
Which unit is the Flyers’ first power play unit? The answer is becoming quite clear.
