The Flyers have been energized by a recent change behind the bench and look to continue the momentum on a quick swing through the south when they take on the Florida Panthers tonight from sunny Sunrise.
Facing a 5-2 deficit at perennial Eastern Conference power Tampa Bay, the Flyers climbed all the way back to earn a well-deserved point in an eventual 6-5 loss in overtime. Prior to the Scott Gordon era behind the bench, the Dave Hakstol-led Flyers would likely have folded like a deck of cards with the likes of Dale Weise and Jori Lehtera slogging up ice time in the third instead of the teams’ offensive stars.
