Them

Last year the Flyers were supposed to be really bad, and they just weren't. So what are they doing to be a good team with a roster that doesn't quite add up? Besides getting a coach who doesn't think Travis Konecny is a fourth liner.

At five-on-five the Flyers are a member of the 50% club – a team where one of Corsi or xG is within a point of 50%. There are a lot of them this year, 19 at this moment. The Flyers get there via some very good Expected Goals Against results while they are bad to mediocre by every other measure.

Their power play is middle of the road and they underscore expected by quite a lot. Their PK is good and their goaltending shorthanded is also good. In all-situations, their team Save% is 16th and right on league average.

This is the usual profile of a 50% club member. They aren't awful at anything, and they may have one strength to their game.

Dan Vladar has been the better goalie by a fairly large margin.

Two more points would be very handy and by now, the team knows how to win, they just need to keep doing it.
