The Philadelphia Flyers emerged from their eight-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night. Although they didn’t get a ton of help around the league, the Orange and Black return home with a realistic path to the playoffs. Sure, it’s not probable, but it is possible.
The Flyers host the Devils on Saturday evening before closing the season out against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night. Saturday will be a crucial day for the Flyers in the playoff race as all four teams ahead of them are playing tougher opponents while the Devils are in Philadelphia.
