As defined by Rob Vollman in the 2013 Hockey Abstract (via NHLNumbers): If the starting goalie stopped at least a league average number of shots, which was typically 91.3%…
The Flyers have had success in the early season, but have also now been dealt a pair of shutout losses following their 1-0 loss to Nashville on Thursday night.
