Though the Flyers are nine games past the official halfway point in the 2019-2020 season, the NHL All-Star break has traditionally served as a de-facto midway mark.
A caveat this time around for the Flyers is that not only do they get the weekend off for All-Star festivities, they’re also in the midst of their bye week. The result? Just two games in the span of 10 days against the Penguins, and a whole lot of time for reflection (and to get healthy) in-between.
With 50 games down and 32 left to go, the Flyers are just outside of the playoff picture by the slimmest of margins —missing out by just a lone point.
