Tocchet a big fan of Ivan Provorov

Jordan Hall of NBC Sports: 25-year-old Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov has struggled the past couple of seasons but  Rick Tocchet is a big fan and believes he can turn his game around.

“Like I said a couple of years ago, I loved that guy. I wouldn’t have traded that guy for nobody. I think this guy right now gets a summer off to refresh, gets a new coaching staff, a new defensive coach. I think he can just kind of relax going into this year and don’t put so much pressure on him.”

Provorov will likely be given more opportunities to take control over the power-play.
