Team Identity

Gritty-defensive · Tocchet-era takeoff

Rick Tocchet has the Flyers playing tight, structured, defensive hockey that ranks top-10 in goals against per game despite below-average possession metrics. Matvei Michkov took the second-year leap everyone hoped for, leading the team in scoring and giving Philly its first true offensive star since Giroux's prime. The mid-season arrival of 6th-overall pick Porter Martone after his MSU season ended has been electric, the 19-year-old becoming the first teenager in NHL history to score game-winning goals in his first two career playoff games. The Flyers are back in the playoffs and Sean Couturier's return to form has been the unsung subplot of the season.
