Follow the latest Philadelphia Flyers records, stats, and odds as they push to solidify their reputation and make their mark this season.

Philadelphia Flyers Record – Last Season Recap

Philadelphia was this close to making the playoffs and proving the NHL odds wrong. But the Flyers ran out of steam in the final stretch and fell short. Still, the Philadelphia Flyers’ standings were a solid improvement over 2022-23. It shows not to underestimate this team.

Final 2023-24 Record:

The Flyers finished with 87 points, an improvement over the 75 it had in 2022-23. Under Tortorella, Philadelphia went over its regular-season point projections again. However, it fell short of the postseason for a fourth straight year.

Top Performers:

Travis Konecny paced the Flyers with 33 goals and 68 points. He was selected to his second All-Star game. Owen Tippett also pitched in with 28 goals and 53 points. Morgan Frost also emerged as a bright young player at center. He finished 41 points in 71 games.

Flyers Prediction for the 2024-25 NHL Season

Even the most optimistic Philadelphia Flyers’ predictions can only place this team as a fringe playoff contender. Tortorella tends to get a lot out of his players but can also wear them down. Still, this team may exceed its NHL lines yet again.

Regular Season Wins Prediction

Philadelphia’s regular-season point projections jump to 85.5 from 75.5 in 2023-24. This is “respect” for the Flyers beating their previous two projections under Tortorella. However, finishing around 85ish points still puts this team out of the playoffs.

Playoff Chances

Philadelphia’s NHL playoff odds are pessimistic on making the playoffs. It won’t be shocking if it does but it will need to overperform again. The team’s chances can be helped if its many young players grow faster than anticipated.

Key Players to Watch

Who are these young players? It starts with Matvei Michkov. At only 19, Michkov may be Philadelphia’s most talented forward. He was drafted seventh overall in 2023 but was ranked as a top-three prospect. Ivan Fedotov could also be an X-factor as the team’s goaltender. And expect the Frost to continue to evolve as a franchise center.

Coaching Analysis

John Tortorella is not necessarily on the “hot seat”. But he could be the first head coach to be fired if Philadelphia gets off to an awful start. The team is one losing streak away from hitting “reset” and going into a full rebuild.
