The Philadelphia Flyers will have the opportunity to make history when they face off against the Minnesota Wild. If the Flyers can secure a win, it will mark the 700th career victory for their head coach, John Tortorella. This would make him only the 12th coach in NHL history to achieve this impressive feat.
Tortorella has had a long and successful coaching career in the NHL, spanning over two decades. He has led several teams, including the Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Rangers, and Columbus Blue Jackets, to great success over the years. He has won the Jack Adams Award for the NHL's coach of the year twice, in 2004 and 2017.
Reaching 700 career wins is no easy feat, and it is a testament to Tortorella's hard work, dedication, and expertise as a coach. He has consistently been able to motivate and guide his teams to victory, and his players often speak highly of him.
Regardless of the outcome, reaching 700 career wins is a major achievement for any coach, and Tortorella's legacy in the NHL is secure.
