Holding onto a wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference, the Philadelphia Flyers host the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight in a must-win game. With a win, there is the opportunity to propel into third place in the Metropolitan Division. The New York Islanders have the night off, so if just for an evening, the Flyers could be worth more than a wildcard spot in the post-season. Against playoff teams in the last five games, Philadelphia is one for three. That one win was against the Washington Capitals.
Tonight is just as important to the Columbus Blue Jackets for the same reason as the urgency for the Philadelphia Flyers.
