While the Flyers are going through their worst stretch of the season, their top farm team is surging.
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms, who have several prospects who figure to help the Flyers at some point, have the second-best record (25-10-2) in the 30-team AHL.
They lead the league in goals per game (3.7) and are among the leaders in goals allowed (2.6).
"It's not an easy sell to get offensive players to play more defense . . . but they've done that," Phantoms coach Scott Gordon said.
Can any of the prospects help the Flyers now or in the foreseeable future?
