There ain’t no rest for the wicked, and none for the Flyers from the harsh reality of the ultra-competitive East Division.
Following Thursday’s 5-3 setback to the Washington Capitals, the Flyers will stare down those very same Caps tonight. Washington is headed towards the top of the East Division while the Flyers have sandwiched a come-from-behind shootout win against the lowly Sabres between disappointing results in Pittsburgh against the Penguins and then Thursday against the Caps.
