The year 2022 is one both the San Jose Sharks (11-19-6, seventh Pacific) and the Philadelphia Flyers (11-17-7, seventh Metropolitan) would rather forget. Both teams have lost far more games than they have won. While not mathematically out of the playoff picture just yet, it’s clear that, barring a miracle, this is the last time these two teams will meet this season. For those keeping score, the pair last faced off on Oct. 23 in Philly. James Reimer made 30 saves for the 3-0 win.
Fast forward to today, where the Flyers are coming off a long break.
