The Philadelphia Flyers clinched a series victory over the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinal on this day in 2020.
The Flyers hit the COVID-19 pause in March 2020 in the midst one of their best hot streaks in years. They entered the Toronto bubble for the Eastern Conference postseason with confidence in regaining the momentum they had built four months prior.
It appeared as though they picked up where they left off. The Flyers emerged as the top seed in the East with round robin victories over the conference’s top three regular season teams.
