This Flyers defenseman hit a notable milestone in the club's loss to the Bruins.

As Denver Barkey heads back to the London Knights after spending the last couple of months watching the Philadelphia Flyers' training camp from the sidelines, he reflects on his recovery from illness and coming back a stronger player than before.

On Dec. 4, Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Travis Sanheim was named to Canada's 4 Nations Face-Off roster. It was undoubtedly earned, as the left-shot defenseman has played marvelously this season.

Now, Sanheim has followed that up by hitting a nice new career milestone. 

In the Flyers' 4-3 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins, Sanheim had two assists. With this, he hit the 200-point mark of his career. It took him 524 games to reach it. 

With this solid performance, Sanheim now has five goals, 17 points, and a plus-13 rating in 27 games. This is after he set career highs with 10 goals, 34 assists, and 44 points with the Flyers last season. Thus, since the 2023-24 season, Sanheim has recorded 61 points in 108 games alone.

Sanheim's offensive game has hit a new level in recent seasons, and he has now reached the 200-point mark because of it. It will be fascinating to see how long it takes him to reach 300 career points from here.
