Well, how ’bout that? The Flyers are back at hockey .500 with a 20-20-6 record! They’re a couple points back of the second wild card, though by points percentage they are further away. They enter today’s match in New Jersey on the back of an explosive win over the New York Islanders, which saw them score three goals in the second period, which has–for most of the season–been their worst frame. The only negative of that game (and it’s a glaring one) is the injury to Ryan Poehling that saw Islander forward Maxim Tsyplakov get hit with a three-game suspension.
