Poehling has played parts of five seasons in the NHL, totaling 182 games played. This season sees him well on pace to reach offensive career marks. Right now, his career-high is 17 points. This year he has 14 through 44 games played. Furthermore, this is while playing 13:20 of ice-time per night, which is also a career-best stat, well above his career-average of 12:04. Poehling is a very responsible player, as he has more career takeaways with 69 than giveaways at 41. Also, his face-off percentage is up this year, over 2.3% from his career average. These are the types of intangibles that make Poehling a relied-upon bottom-six guy.<\/p>\n<h3>What Do These Recent Moves Mean for the Philadelphia Flyers<\/h3>\n<p>For Philadelphia, this is an example of Briere rewarding his players. Last season the Flyers who did have a couple of costly injuries, found themselves in third last in the Eastern Conference. In contrast, with a healthy lineup, and a hot goaltender, the Flyers are showing that they have a well-built roster. The Flyers are currently third in the Metropolitan Division. Role players like Poehling or Tippett are definitely a reason why they have been successful. Thus, signing them to mutually beneficial contracts, before intense offseason negotiations take place, is a win-win scenario.<\/p>\n<p>Main photo: Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep the good times rolling for the Philadelphia Flyers as Centre Ryan Poehling re-signs with the club.
