Long a positive for the Philadelphia Flyers, the power play has been on a downward trend since the 2015-2016 season, but this season they’ve reached a new low. Currently, the Flyers’ power play sits 23rd in the league with a 17% success rate, ninth-worst in the league. Should that hold, that would be the team’s worst success rate since their 2006-2007 campaign. It’s clear that if the Flyers are going to get back to the playoffs next season, their power play’s current trend cannot continue.
For the majority of last season, the Flyers’ top unit included Claude Giroux, Jakub Voracek, Wayne Simmonds, Sean Couturier, and Shayne Gostisbehere.
