Today’s the day. Hockey is finally back. The Philadelphia Flyers are set for a clash with their most bitter rival at 4PM EST. While it may be a scrimmage, here are four Flyers to watch when the puck drops.
Derek Grant
Acquired in a late trade with Anaheim, Derek Grant didn’t take long to make his presence felt for the Flyers. He rallied to 5 points in 7 games, averaging 14 minutes of ice-time per night – a 5 minute boost to what he was seeing in Anaheim.
Grant had played in 49 games prior to the trade that season, tallying 20 points and scoring four game-winning goals.
