There’s good and bad news following the Flyers’ 5-2 setback to the Capitals on Thursday night.
The good news? They’re still only five points out of the final wild card spot, and can get right back at it with a game tonight. The bad news? It’s a road game against another playoff bound team in the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Thankfully for the Flyers sake is that the Maple Leafs are cold coming in, as opposed to the red-hot Capitals buzz saw the Flyers just faced. Toronto has lost two-straight: a 6-2 loss to NHL-best Tampa Bay, then a 5-4 loss to the lowly Chicago Blackhawks.
