Trevor Zegras Fuels Flyers’ Hot Start After Offseason Trade

Analysts see a strong fit, with caveats about luck-driven metrics.

Overview

  • Zegras leads Philadelphia with 12 points in 10 games as the Flyers open 6-3-1, pacing their offense through the season’s first stretch.
  • The 24-year-old logged two goals and an assist in a 4-1 win over Nashville, his second three-point night in three games, with points in each of the club’s five recent home victories.
  • Head coach Rick Tocchet and Zegras describe a deliberate shift toward winning plays, with the forward taking on center and wing duties at even strength and the power play while adding physical edge.
  • Philadelphia acquired Zegras from Anaheim for Ryan Poehling, a 2025 second-round pick, and a 2026 fourth, a move praised internally by special advisor Patrick Sharp as an underrated addition to a young core.
  • Natural Stat Trick data places Zegras among early leaders in points-per-60, though reporting notes his power-play on-ice shooting rate and individual points percentage are volatile and could regress.
