As the Philadelphia Flyers gear up for the upcoming NHL season, three key statistics will play a pivotal role in determining their success. The Flyers will rely heavily on their power play performance, which has been inconsistent in recent years. With the addition of new talent and the improvement of established players like Kevin Hayes and Cam Atkinson, the Flyers aim to refine their power play strategy to convert more opportunities into goals.

Another statistic that could make or break the Flyers' season is their ability to win faceoffs. A strong faceoff performance can lead to more puck possession and scoring chances. Veteran centers such as Sean Couturier will be critical in ensuring that the team excels in this area. Improving their dot performance can give them an edge over opponents, enhancing their chances for success.

Lastly, goaltending statistics will be crucial for the Flyers. With Carter Hart in net, the Flyers need him to return to form and provide consistent, high-quality performances. The Flyers' defense must also step up, limiting high-danger chances against Hart to improve his save percentage. If Hart can find his rhythm, the Flyers could contend in a tough Metropolitan Division.
