Acquired this past offseason from the Dallas Stars, Tyler Pitlick has given the Flyers exactly what they expected from him. He’s not a player that with light the lamp every night. That’s not what he asked to do. Instead, he provides a different type of value on the ice.
As a fourth liner, sometimes third as well, Pitlick’s job was to bring energy whenever he was on the ice. And he certainly succeeded at that. Playing just a tick over 12 minutes a game, discipline is one of his biggest assets.
As a player expected to bring a physical like play, Pitlick is able to do that without going over the edge.
