Flyers Forward Could Hit Brand New Level

The Philadelphia Flyers secured an impressive 3-2 shootout win over the Vancouver Canucks last night (Oct. 11). Flyers forward Ryan Poehling certainly contributed to the win, as he recorded the primary assist on Cam York's game-tying goal that forced overtime.

Seeing Poehling start the season on the scoresheet is undoubtedly encouraging. After setting new career highs with 11 goals, 17 assists, and 28 points in 77 games last season, the 6-foot-2 forward's goal is to continue to improve in 2024-25.

There is reason to believe Poehling can hit a new level this season. The 6-foot-2 forward is just 25 years old, so he still has time to take that next step in his development. In addition, unlike his previous teams – the Montreal Canadiens and Pittsburgh Penguins – the Flyers are giving him consistent chances in their lineup. Thus, with this more significant opportunity, we should not rule out the possibility of him improving even further this season.

Overall, Poehling could become a vital member of the Flyers' forward group if he continues to improve his all-around game. It will be fascinating to see what kind of season the Lakeville, Minnesota native has from here.
