Could This Championship-Winning Assistant Be the Game-Changer the Flyers Desperately Need?
Under Halpern, the Lightning have sported the NHL’s second-best power play since 2018-19 at 25.5 percent. Only the Oilers have been better at 26.8 percent. The Flyers are in desperate need of answers on their power play, so Halpern’s insight would be valuable.
Halpern is considered a bright hockey mind. He played at Princeton with Flyers assistant general manager Brent Flahr and went on to have a 14-year NHL career. The former center recorded 373 points in 976 games.
The Flyers are aiming for a teacher and Halpern would fit that bill. He started in player development with Tampa Bay’s AHL affiliate Syracuse and helped lead the Crunch to a 2017 Calder Cup berth as an assistant.
