Ivan Provorov News
Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Ivan Provorov (illness) is considered a game-time call on Thursday against Philadelphia. Provorov missed practice on Wednesday with an illness, and it's unclear if he's feeling well enough to play. The Russian blue-liner has not missed any games so far this season since getting traded by the Flyers to Columbus in a three-team deal in June. He's logged over 23 minutes per game for the team and is currently on pace to have a career year offensively. In 39 outings, Provorov has notched 21 points (two goals, 19 assists). Andrew Peeke should come into the lineup if Provorov isn't available against his former team on Thursday.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have acquired defenseman Ivan Provorov from the Philadelphia Flyers in a three-way trade with the Los Angeles Kings. The deal included defenseman Kevin Connauton moving from Philadelphia to L.A., while Kings defenseman Sean Walker and goaltender Calvin Petersen joined the Flyers. A couple of minor league players and a few draft picks were also involved in the trade, with Philadelphia landing Columbus' 2023 first-round pick and a couple of second-rounders. Provorov, the seventh pick of the 2015 draft, is the biggest piece of the trade, with the Russian blue-liner moving on from Philadelphia after spending all of his seven-year career so far with the Flyers. "He immediately improves our group on defense as he is durable, has great skill, skates well, is an excellent passer with an accurate shot and can effectively play at both ends of the ice," Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said about Provorov.
Philadelphia Flyers forward Claude Giroux and defenseman Ivan Provorov won't play on Tuesday against Anaheim because of COVID-19 protocols. The latter will miss his first career game after being ever-present since making his debut in 2016-17. The Flyers have received a huge blow at both ends of the ice, as Giroux leads the team with 29 points and Provorov has been eating up the most minutes, getting 24:25 of ice time this season. Morgan Frost could now get a chance to rejoin the top six. Cam York is expected to make his season debut in defense. The 20-year-old has skated in 21 AHL games this season, picking up eight points.
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov saved his best moment for last against the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday night. Provorov converted on a play made by Kevin Hayes as he scored the game winning goal 2:14 into overtime. That gave the Philadelphia Flyers a 3-2 win. This was Provorov's only shot of the game. He did have three blocked shots, a hit, and a takeaway as well. While the defenseman has just three points on the man advantage, he does have four points in his last four games. Provorov is showing signs of life for fantasy owners and more of the form from two years ago where he netted 13 goals and 36 points in 69 games.
