The Philadelphia Flyers are 2-7-1 in their last ten games, and four of those have been lopsided blowouts—including the most recent two: a 5-2 loss to the Canadiens and a 7-0 shellacking by the New Jersey Devils. The Flyers are going to be without leading goal scorer Travis Konecny for the foreseeable future due to injury, and management has acknowledged that the team is selling in advance of the Friday trade deadline.
Speaking of, this matchup against the New York Rangers is the Flyers’ last game before the deadline. Unless any players sit for trade related reasons, which appears unlikely from what we know, it’s quite possibly the last time we’ll see a few guys in Flyers uniforms—though after trading and re-signing noted winger Justin Braun last year, who knows.
