With preliminary play officially coming to an end on Tuesday, the quarterfinals of the 2019 IIHF World Championships are set to begin Thursday morning and the Philadelphia Flyers will have plenty of talent battling for gold, silver, and bronze medals. Eight of the nine Flyer participants have reached this stage, with Michael Raffl and Team Austria getting relegated despite a valiant effort on the six-year NHL veterans part.
Sean Couturier, Carter Hart, and Philippe Myers helped Team Canada top Group A with 18 points and a 6-1-0 record.
