Philadelphia Flyers (33-37-10, 76 points, 8th Metropolitan, 15th East)

As through a miracle, the blue jackets are still in the playoff race. Last night the Blackhawks defeated the Canadiens in extra time, which means that there is still a chance. A today’s ordinance keeps hopes in life. Everything else means elimination.

To see players

Adam Fantilli

Mo scored four goals in two games against the capitals at the weekend. It only needs one to reach the magical number of 30. He is also +5 in his last three games. He was striking at both ends of the ice and must continue to be a difference to keep his team in the playoff race.

Jet Greaves

It is possible that Greaves will not play this evening because he played last week, but I’m not sure how to make this call. He was appointed the first star of the week of the NHL and 3-0: 0 with a percentage of 0.968 and a shutout. If he can continue this level of game, he will give his team a chance.

Jacken notes

Cayden Lindstrom is now in the medical hat. According to Mark Scheig from the hockey authors, it is still unlikely that he will play this season, but he is practicing with the team and contacts. Since he did not sign at Columbus, he could not participate in practices there. These are not bad news. The fact that he is not signed also means that he could play in the NCAA next season.
