While the shot differential has been a hot topic, the Philadelphia Flyers rank atop the NHL in scoring efficiency. Is it all by design?
Through ten games in 2020-2021, the Philadelphia Flyers are currently atop the NHL standings. Offensively speaking, every opponent has dictated the pace, placing the pressure squarely on Carter Hart and Brian Elliott. Some of this has to do with Sean Couturier missing time due to injury. The Flyers shot differential has become a glaring topic of discussion. That makes sense, especially from a fanbase who would scream for the players to “shoot” if fans could attend.
