But through their first 10 games of the season, the Flyers have a fairly adequate record of 5-3-2 and, on paper, are in the mix of the Metropolitan Division standings.
The Flyers’ strong start (by their standards) hasn’t been a result of high-octane offense, though — they rank 29th in the NHL in goals for per game. They’ve just been very good at keeping pucks out of their own net, allowing the sixth-fewest goals against per game in the league since the start of the season.
