The Philadelphia Flyers face the Chicago Blackhawks with both teams looking to end awful seasons with a win. The Flyers have a 30-38-13 record and will finish the season with the third-worst record in the Eastern Conference. The Blackhawks have a 26-49-6 record and with only two wins in their last 13 games, they will finish the season at the bottom of the Western Conference. Both teams are looking to cap off the season with a win to bring momentum into next season and the upcoming game should be a good one.
The Flyers are having a miserable season with their offense letting them down, scoring only 2.65 goals per game. Travis Konecny, Kevin Hayes, and Owen Tippett have scored 73 goals and 85 assists but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only seven skaters scored 12 goals or more and opponents eliminated the hapless offense with ease.
The offense has let the Flyers down but the defense has also struggled, allowing 3.36 goals per game. Travis Sanheim and Ivan Provorov have combined for 6.4 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit struggled, allowing opponents to constantly find open shots on the net. The one bright spot all season has been goaltender Carter Hart who has a .907 save percentage and a 2.94 goals-against average on 1634 shots with 4.4 goals saved above average.
