The flyers won their 6th straight game Saturday night, knocking off the New York Islanders for the second time in the past week. While Sergei Bobrovsky did record his 6th straight win and the Flyers did improve to an Eastern Conference best 19 points, with a record of 9-4-1, Andreas Nodl made his return.
The Austrian native was out of the past 2 games due to injury. His return saw him scoring his the game winner in a 2-1 win in the Island. His 3rd of the season and his 3rd in the past 4 games. The Saint Cloud State University graduate has only taken 8 shots this season, 3 of them have found their way behind the keeper.
Playing as the Flyers 13th man, and logging on average around 10 minutes a game, Nodl is making his presence felt. While playing D1 college hockey with SCSU Nodl was part of what was the best line in college hockey, where he showcased his vision and hands on a nightly basis.
The future is bright for a player who plays under Laviolette and has full comprehension of how to play both ends of the rink. Andreas Nodl may have solidified himself in this line-up and will be looking to advance.
