Daily News | Flyers hope Tuesday’s offensive contributions from the defense is a sign of things to come
, only two defensemen had scored a goal for the Flyers in the previous nine games. Both goals came against the Vegas Golden Knights on March 14, with Travis Sanheim tallying in the second period before Nick Seeler channeled Connor McDavid with one of the goals of the season.
Tuesday was the first time in a long time a defenseman — or two — led the high-five train after a Flyers goal. Sanheim notched two goals against the Panthers while Ivan Provorov had one.Flyers’ Cam York working to improve his defensive game with an eye on a close mentorIt was just Provorov’s fifth goal of the season and his first since February 24 against Montreal. He’s on pace to equal his career-low of six goals from his rookie season. .
“I’m getting there,” Sanheim said. “Obviously, that’s a big part of my game is contributing and joining offensively. ... Hopefully the last stretch here I can put together some good games.” The forwards, however, think they’ve played a role in holding the defense back. Scott Laughton explained they’ve been getting out of their own zone cleaner of late whereas in the past, they sometimes leaked too far up ice, leaving the defense without an easy play to make.
