The Flyers and the Shootout

As one might have guessed, the Flyers have had more games decided by the shootout than any other team in the NHL this season (both the Flyers and Florida Panthers have had six shootout results so far). For perspective, the Flyers only partook in four shootouts all of last year.
Over the past four seasons (this current one included) the Flyers are 15-16, and so far this year they have won three games and lost three games in the shootout. The most recent of these games was a loss to the Washington Capitals in which Evgeny Kuznetsov scored the game-winner, beating Hart high to his blocker side.
