The Philadelphia Flyers have a week of important games ahead of them late in February. After the Flyers lost in overtime last week to the Toronto Maple Leafs as well as an abysmal loss to the New Jersey Devils in the MetLife Stadium Series game this past weekend, they now have to contend with both the Devils and the New York Islanders as both teams are closing in on the Flyers’ playoff spot. The Flyers were recently very close to eclipsing the New York Rangers for the number one spot in the Metropolitan Division after they passed the Carolina Hurricanes for the number two spot, but losing a few games has put them six points behind the Hurricanes and twelve points behind the Rangers. The three games this week will allow the Flyers to tie the Hurricanes should they rally from their two-game losing streak to beat the Chicago Blackhawks, the Rangers, and their old rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins.
