If the Flyers want any chance of the playoffs, it starts tonight vs the Islanders. Over the next week, the Flyers will know their fate when it comes to not only the trade deadline. But, also the playoffs.
After a two-day break, the Flyers now start a 6-game in 9-day stretch. While finishing the stretch with 5-days in 7-day stretch. Their 2nd of the season.
With the month of March finally over, the Flyers hope to leave the bad month behind. A month that saw them give up the most goal & fall from top of the East division to tied for 5th.
Tonight, the Flyers will get Nolan Patrick & Oskar Lindblom back after resting for 72-hours. They also will get back Carter Hart, who is fresh off his week reset.
“It’s mostly mental. About getting off the ice and recovering,” forward Oskar Lindblom said. “It’s something I’ve been working on all season…I’ll take every day I can and recover the best I can.”
