Many things have to happen for the Flyers to reach the playoffs this season, and Matt Read's return to form is high on the list.
The veteran winger, bothered by a high ankle sprain for parts of last season, scored a career-low eight goals in 2014-15 - 14 fewer than the previous season.
Read is now healthy, and his quickness has returned.
"I'm 100 percent. I can't wait for the season to start. Just put last year behind me and move forward," he said after skating at the Flyers practice facility in Voorhees on Friday - a week before veterans officially start camp.
