Ghost doing what he does on the power play:

That’s four goals for Ghost this year, three on the PECOOOOO power play, so he now leads NHL defensemen with four goals. Just like we expected. Ghost has three times as many power play goals as the Flyers have home goals so far. That will change! Hopefully.

Carolina is a good team for Ghost. Good role for him there playing in the second defensive pairing, with Sean Walker no less, and getting his power play opportunities. Not sure people even realize that he bagged 46 assists in Detroit last year, and 56 points total, the second-best number he’s posted in his career. He was a -16 playing for a Red Wings team that finished with 91 points, then turned that into a three-year deal with the Canes for a little less than $10 million. Good for him!
