The Philadelphia Flyers have played themselves out of the position to say “we lost, but...” with their struggles in the month of March.
Philly was 11-4-3 at the end of February, seemingly righting themselves after a little down stretch against the Boston Bruins and a Covid interruption, and finishing the month with three consecutive victories.
Now, however, the boys in orange and black find themselves at 15-11-4, sitting out of playoff position in the East Division, only two points ahead of the sixth-slotted New York Rangers, after Monday night’s 2-1 loss to the division-leading New York Islanders.
