This isn’t the same Philadelphia Flyers club from November and December, folks.
Against all odds, the Flyers have now won seven of their last eight games, including back-to-back victories over a strong Washington Capitals squad. Suddenly, the Flyers are at hockey .500 and continue to claw back into contention.
Saturday night, the Flyers took down the Capitals 3-1 at Capital One Arena, bringing them within five points of a playoff spot with less than half of their season left to play.
Carter Hart was a standout against the Capitals on Wednesday, stopping 26 of 29 Washington shots and helping to stave off a late push in the third period.
