Flyers set franchise record for games with 25 or fewer shots… but it’s happening league-wide

The Flyers have now had 40 games this season with 25 shots or fewer on goal, setting a new franchise record (previous was 37 in 2023-24 and 1967-68)

What’s interesting is this isn’t just a Flyers thing, it’s been happening a lot across the league recently

Here are some of the most recent seasons that rank in the top 100 all-time:

Blackhawks 2025-26 (48 games) — 15th most

Blackhawks 2024-25 (46 games) — T-17th

Canadiens 2024-25 (44 games) — T-25th

Canucks 2024-25 (44 games) — T-25th

Rangers 2025-26 (44 games) — T-25th

Stars 2025-26 (40 games) — T-64th

Flyers 2025-26 (40 games) — T-64th

Kraken 2025-26 (40 games) — T-64th

Canucks 2025-26 (40 games) — T-64th

Blues 2024-25 (39 games) — T-80th

That’s 10 seasons in the top 100 coming in just the last two years

Curious what people think, is this more about systems, pace of play, or something else across the league?
