Keys to the Game
The Flyers are one of the top defensive teams in the NHL. According to Money Puck, they have the sixth-lowest expected goals against among all 32 teams. Simply put, they are limiting the amount of high danger scoring chances to ease the workload of their goaltenders.

The major focus will be limiting the high danger shots against their goalie. The Predators have 68 high danger shots for this year. Only the Vegas Golden Knights, Edmonton Oilers and New York Islanders have had more high danger shots.
The Flyers have already done that this year, limiting their opponents to 40 high danger shots. The only team that's been better has been the Los Angeles Kings (who have surrendered 39 high danger shots).
