*Not only did the Flyers get back into the win column last night, but they did it by completing a game in the minimum required number of minutes! It was great! RECAP!
*Big news yesterday ahead of the game was the confirmation of the triumphant return of Rasmus Ristolainen! [Inquirer]
*For the first time in nearly a year, the Flyers defense is fully healthy. What a time! [NBC Sports Philly]
*Obviously with Risto back in the mix the Flyers’ D pairs had to change a bit, but Ricky Tacos did a little line juggling last night as well. [BSH]
*When we were saying that Carl Grundstrom playing well should have Tocchet rethinking the way he constructs his fourth line, we didn’t exactly mean for Tocchet to do all that. Grundy has been a great addition to the lineup, though. [BSH]
*You may not have known this, but apparently the Flyers are still actively shopping for another center for this team. Not shocking though, eh? While Dvorak is having a surprisingly good year he’s clearly not the solution at 1C long term. [The Athletic]
*And finally, because NHL GMs are mostly boring dorks, we don’t get big splashy trades like the one that sent Quinn Hughes to Minnesota very often. So why not get into a full breakdown of how and why it happened? [ESPN]
