Flyers Hope Power Play Continues to Improve
The Flyers vowed that rest would be taken into account in all the practices and morning skates. Expect a lot of “optional skates,” was the general thinking.
Not today.
Even after a full practice on Monday, Peter Laviolette kept the Flyers on the ice a little longer than a normal morning skate. The theme, as it has been for much of the season, was special teams.
“That’s why I like being here,” Laviolette said. “It’s in our building. It’s a little bit more private. I just think that it gives you an opportunity to work on it. It gives you an advantage with morning skates now with some days being called off practice in a shortened season.”
Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes the Flyers’ power play went 3-for-3, raising their percentage from the basement of the NHL to 16th at an 18.6 percent clip. They’d like to keep improving.
