Daily News | Streaking Morgan Frost is slowly winning over John Tortorella with his improved ‘200-foot’ game
Flyers center Morgan Frost celebrates his power play goal, the first of his two goals Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens.It wasn’t that long ago that coach John Tortorella was reluctant to give Morgan Frost praise without following it with criticism, going so far on one occasion to. But Tuesday night, Tortorella was impressed enough to call Frost a “200-foot player,” some of his highest praise for the forward to date.
“I was thinking pass, like I usually do most of the way,” Frost said. “And then I kind of saw that the second guy was going over to backtrack. So I switched it up last minute.”Beyond his goals, Frost was impressive in all aspects of the game. He created opportunities for his teammates, drew a penalty, played solid defense, helped the power play look more dynamic, and won five of his nine faceoffs.
“We know he has skill,” Tortorella said. “We need to keep on seeing the skill. But for a coach to put a player on the ice that he’s still not sure of, that other stuff has to be sound. And I think he’s really improved there.”
