8 Flyers thoughts as they look to clinch their first playoff spot since 2020

It’s right in front of them now. The Philadelphia Flyers can clinch third place in the Metropolitan Division on Monday night at home with a win of any kind over the Carolina Hurricanes, ending their five-season Stanley Cup playoffs drought.The Columbus Blue Jackets and New York Islanders lost in regulation Sunday, meaning the Flyers need to capture just two of a possible four points in their final two games. If they don’t do it Monday, they’ll try again Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens, with a potential first-round meeting with the Pittsburgh Penguins to follow.Advertisement
