Acciari, 34, is now heading east on I-76 after spending three seasons in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cChoosing Philly was an easy decision,\u201d he said during a Zoom press conference on Tuesday. \u201cSeeing how their momentum was after the break, and it\u2019s a young team, to be able to do what they did was pretty special to watch and play against, and I just wanted to be a part of that.\u201d <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The forward was on the Penguins team that lost in the opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs to the Flyers. Bri\u00e8re noted that it was difficult for the Flyers to play against Acciari, who brings a physical, defensive game with high-end prowess on the penalty kill, akin to the one Garnet Hathaway did for three seasons before he was traded to the Florida Panthers right before the draft.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Acciari is a natural center who has played a lot of wing, including in Pittsburgh, where he combined with Connor Dewar and Blake Lizotte to make up one of the league\u2019s top fourth lines. This past season, he had 13 goals, 25 points, won 52% of his faceoffs, and had an impressive plus-14 rating in 67 games. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>He posted one assist in the six playoff games against Philly \u2014 Bri\u00e8re said it was because of the Flyers\u2019 stingy defense \u2014 but dominated in the face-off circle, winning 61% of his draws. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>His prowess in the dot will help bolster a team that has not re-signed Luke Glendening, who won 57.2% of his faceoffs with the Flyers. Glendening, a late-season addition, was the team\u2019s only right-handed centerman, and now Acciari holds that title. Across all 82 games last season, the Flyers collectively won only 49.5% of faceoffs; they did better against the Penguins in the playoffs but were worse against the eventual Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIf it\u2019s not on a score sheet, I want to help out the team in any way possible, whether it\u2019s blocking a shot, winning a faceoff, or throwing a big hit,\u201d said Acciari. \u201cAll the little things that helped me throughout my career, and I\u2019d love to bring [them] on over to Philly.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>A veteran of 585 career games with the Boston Bruins, Florida Panthers, St. Louis Blues, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Penguins, Acciari has amassed 81 goals and 144 points. One of the biggest draws for him was the Flyers\u2019 locker room. He says he saw how tight the team is, the excitement they had, and how much fun they were having, and he wanted to be a part of it.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=2184\">An Idaho mother who said her toddler twins died after vaccinations has been charged with murder<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>He also knows a few Flyers, having played with Owen Tippett in Florida and Joseph Woll in Toronto and overlapped with Dan Vlada\u0159 in the Boston organization.
