Jiricek Gets His Chance - But Philly's Power Play Didn't Get Better

David Jiricek is finally getting his shot with the Flyers, but he's inheriting a power play unit that didn't improve during the offseason despite the team's obvious need for more scoring. The young defenseman will have a chance to prove he can be a difference-maker on special teams, but the supporting cast around him hasn't been upgraded. This is either a perfect opportunity for Jiricek to shine or a setup for frustration if the Flyers' power play continues to underperform.
