The Flyers will face their cross-state rivals tonight in Pittsburgh, their third match-up of the season.
Flyers @ Pittsburgh Penguins
When: 7:00p.m. ET
Where: PPG Paints Arena, Pittsburgh, PA
The post-All Star Game week for the Flyers has felt like an acknowledgment, however tacit, that their playoff hunt is over: they’ve bounced top prospects Morgan Frost and Cam York back and forth between Philly and Lehigh Valley; they added a new piece to the upper level management in some guy named Daniel Brière; they shut down Sean Couturier for the season and hinted at the possibility of doing the same for Kevin Hayes and Ryan Ellis; Adrian Dater is salivating at the prospect of undervaluing Claude Giroux; and it feels like there are more people on Flyers Twitter watching James Harden shoot uncontested practice threes than watching Flyers games.
