Until the Philadelphia Flyers are officially mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, they have a chance.
The Boston Bruins dealt a heavy blow on Tuesday to the Flyers quality surge with a 4-2 victory, but Philadelphia didn’t seem out of place. During that back-to-back series, the Bruins suffered their first loss to the Flyers, showing Philadelphia is not going down without a fight. They’ll have to scrap to create space from the sixth spot in the Mass Mutual Eastern Division rankings. Today, the Flyers remain five points behind Boston and rank behind the New York Rangers due to tiebreakers.
