Aiming for a crucial two points in the first half of a home and home series, the Philadelphia Flyers played host to the Columbus Blue Jackets at the Wells Fargo Center. The two teams were separated by just one point in the Eastern Conference playoff standings as each possessed the first and second Wild Card spots coming into tonight. Carter Hart received the nod from Head Coach Alain Vigneault and opposed Elvis Merzlikins for Columbus.
You might be surprised to hear this, but the Flyers actually got some puck luck to begin the contest.
