Over the past few years, special teams have been the Flyers’ weakness, and that’s no secret. As of late, we’re learning that isn’t necessarily the case anymore, at least with one special teams unit.
The Flyers are coming off of a season where their special teams finished in the bottom third of the league. It’s not like they started out strong and tanked from then on out either. The special teams were horrendous throughout the entire season. The end result just magnified how bad they really were.
This season tells a different story. While under a new regime, the Flyers special teams have improved leaps and bounds from last year.
