After winning yet another game in overtime, the Flyers have finally surged back over the .500 mark and find themselves back in the furthest fringes of the Wild Card hunt. Please ignore that all of the teams that they’ve defeated over this stretch have been pretty underwhelming; it makes being invested in this team feel slightly less insane.
So, tonight Philly gets a shot to keep up its winning ways with a game against the collapsing San Jose Sharks. After starting out the year strong (similar to the Flyers), teams haven’t had to Fear the Fin all that often; the Sharks are just 4-5 in the month of December.
