In total, Provorov has played 550 games in the NHL, 532 of them with the Philadelphia Flyers.
In Philly, he was considered one of the top pairing defensemen, but with Provorov's move to Columbus this summer, he now finds a better fit.
Danny Briere has found a great defenseman with the pick he acquired from Oliver Bonk's trade for Provorov.
#Flyers pay tribute to Ivan Provorov in his return to Philly:
His 532 games with Philadelphia have seen him score 65 goals, 152 assists, and 217 points.
