The Philadelphia Flyers are starting to look like legitimate playoff contenders as midseason approaches, and two big additions are making that possible.
Following their 4-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night, the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves in third place in the Metropolitan Division with 40 points. While the divisional race is still tight, with no team in the Metro more than six points behind the Flyers, offseason acquisitions Trevor Zegras and Dan Vladar are two cornerstones the team has lacked in the past to keep them in serious contention.
