The NHL season is about a quarter over in the blink of an eye. The Flyers position in it is…complicated.
They currently sit just one point out of a Wild Card playoff spot, two points out of divisional spot, and have games in hand on all of the teams above them. They are in the annual log jam that plauges the Eastern Conference, where parody creates chaos.
As the season goes on injuries mount, trade dominos fall, and players fall in and out of favor. One of the best ways to shake up a lineup is a call up from the AHL.
