Ivan Provorov, who shared the NHL lead for goals (17) scored by a defenseman last season, is goal-less and is among many players struggling for the 4-7 Flyers.
The Flyers seem to know why they are playing so poorly, but then they go out and repeat the same mistakes: defensive breakdowns, awful starts to games, a failure to get many quality shots from in close.
The Flyers (4-7) who start a four-game road trip Tuesday in Anaheim, have not been ready. They have allowed the first goal in 10 of the first 11 games.
