The Flyers went from having the third seed in the Metropolitan Division earlier this week to now being on the outside looking in. No longer in the third spot. No longer in a Wild Card spot. A point behind Toronto (who have played two more games) and two points behind Boston (who have played three more games). And they are tied with Buffalo (who have played the same number of games), a team they face tonight in what is beginning to look more and more like very crucial games down this pre-Olympic stretch.
At 22-14-8 heading into Wednesday’s game, the Flyers need to keep doing what they’ve been doing to be successful.
