As the new NHL season unfolds, it's worth taking a look back at last season's bold move by the Philadelphia Flyers' management. Chuck Fletcher, the Flyers' General Manager, raised eyebrows among fans when he decided to bring back a familiar face from his days in Minnesota, the gritty and relentless Nic Deslauriers.


Deslauriers, known for his ability to shift the momentum of a game with a single hit, became an instant game-changer for the Flyers. Just as former coach John Tortorella had noted, Deslauriers made his presence felt during a crucial game last season. In one remarkable shift, he delivered two bone-rattling body checks, and mere minutes later, the Flyers lit the lamp twice in just 23 seconds.
