The Flyers played the New York Rangers well this season, setting up a perfect matchup if the two face off in the first round.

There is a long list of opponents the Flyers could face during the first round of the playoffs. It will all depend on what seed they finish with during the round-robin. They can end up no lower than four, with a chance to grab the top seed in the conference.

Finishing with the number one seed would give them the chance to play the lowest seed to make it out of the round-robin.
