Provorov proving he's ready for prime time

PHILADELPHIA — Ivan Provorov is turning all the right heads within the Philadelphia Flyers organization.

The 19-year-old Russian-born defenceman, taken seventh overall in the 2015 NHL Draft, is making the kind of impression that exceeds the expectations of just about everyone, including himself.

Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Ivan Provorov earned his way to the NHL after two successful years with the Brandon Wheat Kings.

"I know how lucky I am to be playing for such a great team with a great history. I’m really happy that I did enough to be here," Provorov said Thursday.
