Flyers Gameday: Must Win
It’s Flyers gameday vs the Winnipeg Jets on the road. This is a very important game for the Flyers as they have 3 games left in the regular season and are just one point ahead of the Islanders for 3rd in the metro. The Islanders play vs the Senators, if the Islanders win and the Flyers lose, the Flyers will no longer be in a playoff spot. This isn’t actually a must win or else you’re eliminated; it’s just that you must win if you want to make it easier for yourselves. If the Flyers do drop out of a playoff spot tonight, then they need to win the last two games of the regular season.

The Flyers are coming off an awful game vs the Red Wings, as they lost 6–3. The Flyers didn’t look to be playing terrible at the start, the special teams were awful, giving up 3 goals on the penalty kill and a shorthanded goal. Towards the end of the game, they started to play worse and the game just dwindled away. The Flyers really need to bounce back vs the Jets.
I'm sure Sam Ersson will start as Dan Vladar has been the starter the last few games and was pulled pretty early vs Detroit on Thursday. Porter Martone has been great so far, as he has 6 points in 6 games.
