That was the power play, which entered tonight 2…
The Flyers haven’t played a Metropolitan Division team since November 25, when they lost to the Rangers on Black Friday. But they’ll finally hit the ice against a literal rival on Wednesday night when they host the Washington Capitals. It’s a national game so it’s an 8 p.m. start time, and the game will be…
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…
