Their last win came on April 29, 2026, when they defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the 2025-26 NHL playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bAt that point, Don Mattingly was on his second day as interim manager of<a href=\"https:\/\/metrophiladelphia.com\/philadelphia-phillies\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a>, while Cam York had just thrown his stick into the crowd after scoring the overtime game-winner.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bNow, the team is off to the worst start in franchise history, 0-5-3 (3 points), and is 8th in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/leagues\/NHL_2027.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> the <\/a>Metropolitan Division.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u200bPer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/teams\/PHI\/2027.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hockey-Reference<\/a>, the team ranks 32nd of 32 in goals for with 10 and 31st of 32 in goals against with 30. \u200bThey are currently being outshot 277-166.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bThrough eight games, Trevor Zegras, Christian Dvorak, Travis Sanheim, and Travis Konecny are tied for the team&#8217;s point lead with three each.
