At this point in time there aren’t many things to complain about when it comes to the Philadelphia Flyers’ play on the ice. General manager Chuck Fletcher’s moves in the offseason look to be paying off, the first- and second-year players on the roster are outperforming expectations, and Carter Hart looks legitimate. Perhaps a lot less exciting than those things is the fact the Orange and Black’s penalty kill is one of the best in the league.
Going into Thursday night’s action the Flyers’ penalty kill is tied for third in the NHL at 85.
