Jakub Voracek scored the game-winning goal in his debut with the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday. Voracek had no goals during the preseason despite leading the team with 14 shots on goal, but that didn't matter once the puck dropped on Thursday. Obviously, you can't read too much into a single game either, but it is reasonable to expect at least 20 goals out of Voracek this season.

Jakub Voracek doesn't seem discouraged by the fact that he had no goals in a team-leading 14 shots on goal during the preseason. "I mean, I felt very good all preseason," Voracek said. "I felt awesome every game. I think I could have one goal and a few more. It's just preseason." The Philadelphia Flyers have high hopes for Voracek this season and they want to see him keep shooting. He's only had 39 goals in 241 career NHL games, but he could breach the 20-goal barrier this season.

Jakub Voracek skated with Daniel Briere and Scott Hartnell when the Philadelphia Flyers opened training camp over the weekend. "He put up really good numbers for the first three years of his career," coach Peter Laviolette said. "We're looking to push that with him, see if he can take that next step." Laviolette was quick to caution that the lines are subject to change, but this proves that the team has high hopes for Voracek this season and that the opportunities will be there for him to play a key role in the Flyers' offense.

Jakub Voracek has signed a one-year/$2.25 million deal with the Philadelphia Flyers. Voracek, who was a restricted free agent, was acquired by the Flyers as part of the Jeff Carter deal. Voracek had 14 goals and 46 points in 80 games last season.

Jakub Voracek has been shipped to the Philadelphia Flyers by Columbus as part of a package to acquire Jeff Carter. The 21-year-old winger posted 14 goals and 32 helpers in 80 games with the Blue Jackets this past campaign. He'll likely slot into Philadelphia's top nine forward group and play with a great center regardless of where he lines up next season. Voracek will become a restricted free agent on July 1.
