With an 8-7-1 record, the Philadelphia Flyers rank just below the Carolina Hurricanes in the Metropolitan Division in 2023-2024.
Recently, the team beat the Canes 3-1, which bolstered the positive view of the team. The Canes have been consecutive post-season contenders.
Teams are ranked annually during various parts of the season based on their chances of winning a Stanley Cup.

Despite their current record, the Flyers are ranked #19 by Bleacher Report to win the Stanley Cup this season.
Likewise, Bleacher Report mentions Cal Petersen as a Los Angeles Kings killer, helping the team beat the Kings, one of the better teams in the league, stopping 35 shots that night, after previously going 0-2-2.
Previous Ranking: 25
Overall Record: 8-7-1
It was four days short of a year between NHL victories for goalie Cal Petersen, and what better opponent than the team that traded him away in the offseason. The 29-year-old stopped 35 shots to defeat the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, after going 0-2-2 in four games since defeating Edmonton on Nov. 16, 2022.
One of the most surprising things about this team is that it's tied with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
This power ranking shows that the team has improved its reputation with pundits and hockey media as well.
While losing significant talent during the season, the Boston Bruins are the #1 team with a 12-1-2 record under Jim Montgomery. It has been a really impressive year, along with the super-important goalie tandem of Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark.
Last on the list are the bottom-dwelling San Jose Sharks, who have a 2-13-1 record under David Quinn and seem to be eating mush rather than prey lately. With 21, the team has scored fewer goals than any other team in the league and has allowed the most, with 71 goals. That's a great look, tanking for Macklin Celebrini!
