After last year’s goaltending carousel, the Philadelphia Flyers will be looking to establish some solidity in the net for the upcoming season. Philadelphia entered the offseason needing to improve their defense and goaltending following a year in which they let up the third-most goals in the NHL, per the league’s official website.
Flyers’ GM Chuck Fletcher has already made trades to improve the defense, acquiring Matt Niskanen and Justin Braun from the Washington Capitals and San Jose Sharks, respectively. The remaining question for the Flyers’ defense going into the season is whether the duo of Carter Hart and Brian Elliott will be enough in net for the Flyers to make the playoffs.
