Recent Trends and Performance


The Philadelphia Flyers have shown resilience and determination in their recent games.

Their goaltending was solid with a save percentage rounding up to 100 percent, indicating strong defensive capabilities despite the scoreboard outcome.


In contrast, their performance against the Rangers revealed areas for improvement as they conceded five goals while managing only one themselves. The game statistics highlighted a -21 plus-minus rating which they will be keen on improving. However, it's worth noting that their shot attempts were higher at 34 shots on goal, showcasing an aggressive offensive strategy that could pay dividends with refined execution.
