With recent shellackings in San Jose and Los Angeles still front of mind, the fact that your Philadelphia Flyers are a significantly, drastically worse team on the road than they are at home is becoming harder and harder to ignore. Entering tonight’s games, the Flyers sit eighth in the NHL in points percentage, having collected 61.3 percent of all possible points available. But if you just isolate for games at home, the Flyers have collected a ridiculous 78.9 percent of all points available — the best of any team in the NHL. You would think that a team that protects its house like that would be sailing along a bit more smoothly than this team is, but that’s not going to be the case when you are 22nd in the league in points percentage on the road, at 45.
The discrepancy in the Flyers’ goaltending at home vs. on the road is staggering
