The Flyers are in a bit of a funk, having won just two of their last 11 games, and right before they hit their five-day bye week next week they’ve got a back-to-back against two very tough division rivals in Boston and Washington on Saturday and Sunday of this weekend. As such, winning the game…
A night after a thrilling 3-2 overtime win over the Washington Capitals, the Flyers are up the Turnpike for another Metropolitan Division matchup against the New Jersey Devils.
