*And we’re off! Like, literally off, for a whole week. We are freed from this icy prison. Go and live your lives, friends! But before you go…here’s what we learned from Saturday’s very nice win in Montreal. [BSH]
*The biggest factor in that win over the Habs was Carter Hart, who was lights-out through just about the entirety of the 60 minutes. Here’s how our boy measures up against other starters in the league this season. [BSH]
*The Flyers’ recent run of good hockey will likely impact how Chaz will choose to shape this roster heading in to the deadline. [NBC Sports Philly]
*That said, as the deadline draws ever closer, Fletcher is almost certainly looking for opportunites to improve his roster. [Philly.com]
*Have you been wondering what John Boruk thinks of Chaz’s first moves with the Flyers? No? Well here it is anyway. [NBC Sports Philly]
*We’ve all been a bit worried about Ivan Provorov this season, and rightly so. But our potential #1 guy seems to be turning a corner, finally. [BSH]
*Our pal Charlie and his people over at The Athletic have updated their Flyers’ prospect ranking, and these are the guys they think are outside the top 20, but still worth watching. [The Athletic]
*The All-Star events will take place this weekend, starting with the best part, Friday night’s skills competition. Let’s try and guess who will win what. [ProHockeyTalk]
*And finally, have you submitted your 25 Under 25 ballot yet? If you don’t vote you don’t get to make fun of us for being dumb! So get after it! [BSH]
