The Flyers’ road to the playoffs was an absolute rollercoaster from start to finish. But through every stunning win and gut-wrenching loss, one constant remained – their consistency on special teams.
At the time the season was suspended, the Flyers ranked 7th in the East (14th in the NHL) when it came to power-play percentage, but it was the penalty kill that became their bread and butter. Killing a total of 81.6% of their 240 shorthanded windows, the Flyers really ramped up as the season went on. In fact, they shut down 100% of opposing power plays in 9 of their last 14 games.
