Flyers Shake Up Coaching Lineup: Reirden’s Surprising New Role Sparks Speculation
It’s looking like the Philadelphia Flyers are gearing up behind the bench with a fresh addition — Todd Reirden seems poised to join as their third assistant coach, though the deal isn’t inked just yet. Word on the street, confirmed by a reliable source Thursday, points to Reirden stepping in to round out Rick Tocchet’s coaching crew alongside Yogi Svejkovsky and Jay Varady. Now, this isn’t some random pick; Reirden’s pedigree includes a Stanley Cup ring earned during his tenure as an associate with the Capitals, plus a recent coaching stint with the Penguins. At 54, he’s primed to fill the shoes of Brad Shaw, taking over responsibility for the Flyers’ defensemen — and potentially influencing their penalty kill strategy, which currently hangs in the balance. With his track record of leading stout defensive units and navigating high-stakes NHL pressure, this move could be a pivotal chapter in the Flyers’ rebuild. Curious for more on this unfolding story?
