Today’s contest against the Boston Bruins was nothing short of a clutch victory. Within the Philadelphia Flyers locker room, they’re aware of the Mass Mutual Eastern Division standings. Before the puck dropped, the Flyers were in sixth place, a point behind the New York Rangers and six behind the Bruins. Now, they’ve jumped back into sole ownership of fifth, four points out of a playoff spot.
Improvement in the style of play this month is drastic. Philadelphia has defeated Boston twice in three April games. They’re pushing playoff teams to their limits and earning needed wins along the way.
