Suddenly, Jakub Voracek has earned a sun-soaked All-Star break getaway.
The Philadelphia Flyers winger put his large frame into action in overtime Wednesday night, effectively shielding Evgeny Kuznetsov as he circled in the offensive zone before securing the bonus point with a wrist shot into the roof of the net.
Voracek's goal - his second on the night versus the Washington Capitals, the class of the Metropolitan Division - bumped his previously horrifying stat line further into respectability.
He now has eight goals and 36 points at the unofficial halfway point of the season after scoring better than a point per game over the last 18.
Voracek had just 15 points through the first two months of the campaign.
