A lot has been made of how this current Philadelphia Flyers team might be lacking some conditioning. Youngster Matvei Michkov has been at the center of all of it, of course, but with the likes of Sean Couturier slowing down and more veterans taking a step back, it’s become an underdiscussed and underlying theme to this season.
