The Philadelphia Flyers just missed out on the postseason due to their poor 7-11-4 record in the final quarter of the season. Their 2023-24 campaign was a largely successful one regardless.

For the final grading of the Flyers by quarter, we use some individual stats, advanced and on-ice numbers, plus the eye test to determine where each Flyer belongs. Like always, players will be graded from A-plus to below a D.

This quarter, we had just three players receive an A, eight receive a B, five receive a C, and a season-high 11 players get a D or below. In the third quarter, just 10 players received a C or below.

Overall, only four players saw a boost in their letter grade while eight saw a reduction. The Flyers as a whole had some severe regression, so their players did, too.

Now on to the grades…


A-plus to A-minus

Owen Tippett, Forward

Owen Tippett has taken a giant leap for Philadelphia. With 17 points in 22 games, he was the best on the team with a lot of those around him struggling.

Tippett had a plus-6 rating, but his on-ice stats were below average. If the 25-year-old can maintain this next season and build on that in the future, his $6.2 million salary for the next eight seasons will be a bargain.
