The Game: 7:00 p.m. EST on NBCSports Philadelphia, ESPN+/Hulu, and 93.3 WMMR
With Thursday’s shoot out win over the Washington Capitals, the Philadelphia Flyers extended their point streak to seven games with a 5-0-2 record. They’re 3-0 on shootouts this season. Since Nov. 1, the Flyers are third in the NHL in total standings points accumulated. They’re top three in the Metropolitan Division, and fourth in 5-on-5 xGF% with 53.97.
Folks, we might need to accept the Flyers are for real, and that they could actually make the playoffs.
But! There is plenty of season left to play, and a collapse is always possible–especially for a rebuilding team that could sell off roster players at a moment’s notice.
