One of General Manager Chuck Fletcher’s main objectives over the offseason was to find a way to help improve the Philadelphia Flyers defensively. While that hasn’t exactly happened as of late, especially at even strength, some of the coaching and roster additions have translated to one area of the ice. The Flyers penalty kill looks to be vastly improved compared to years past and is currently among the best squads the NHL has to offer at the moment.
At the time this was written, Philadelphia sits fifth in the league in penalty kill percentage, killing 85.
