The Flyers, have been having a rough time with their defensive breakdowns. Currently out of a playoff spot, many are hoping that they will make a move for a power defenseman to jump into the top pairing. Many thought that Phil Myers would’ve stepped up to the plate after showing promise in the 2019-20 season.

However, he has now been a healthy scratch for the second time in the last eight games and no longer has the top pair role with Ivan Provorov.
