There isn’t a whole lot to be positive about with the 2018-19 Philadelphia Flyers right now. They’ve lost their last three games, and have the 27th best record in the NHL with 4-7-0 through eleven games.
While their overall team defense is a major issue, two defensemen have continued to play a solid game through the Flyers struggles. Travis Sanheim and Radko Gudas have arguably been the teams’ best defensemen throughout the early season.
Among NHL defensive pairings that have played at least 50 minutes of time-on-ice together, Sanheim and Gudas rank seventh in Corsi-For percentage (CF%) with 61.
