It has been a long and trying road trip for the Flyers, who are 1-4-0 so far in five games. The road trip finally comes to an end on Tuesday night as the Flyers face the Carolina Hurricanes.
An updated look at the playoff race, Nikita Kucherov’s impressive MVP season, the new St. Louis Blues under Craig Berube and Jordan Binnington and Columbus’ struggles since the trade deadline.
The Columbus Blue Jackets may have loaded up at the trade deadline, but they currently sit outside of the playoff picture with 19 games to play. The Flyers are six points behind Columbus, looking to cut into that margin.
Here’s a look at all the trades that went down on the big day — and the week leading up to it — that will shape the balance of power around the NHL heading into the playoffs…and beyond.
Tuesday’s game will have a different vibe after Ron Hextall was dismissed as GM on Monday, but the Flyers have a game to play against the Ottawa Senators with two points on the line. Game time is 7 p.m.
After an embarrassing result on Tuesday, Wednesday night provides the Flyers with a chance to quickly put the loss behind them. But against a Senators team that so many have predicted will be the worst in the league, don’t expect it to be easy. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.
