Kyle Ross-Imagn Images The Philadelphia Flyers came out of the Olympic break needing to go on a scorching hot run to have a chance at making the playoffs this season. That they did, and it has been a remarkable watch. As a whole, the team has been playing some of its best hockey of the year late in the season.
It comes at the perfect time. Efforts from players like Travis Konecny and Owen Tippett have dragged the team into the fight. Matvei Michkov and Trevor Zegras snapping some cold spells and contributing offensively have helped the Flyers increase their goal scoring.
Noah Cates has been the beneficiary of some of that playmaking, going on a goal-scoring tear in March. Defensivley, Rasmus Ristolainen has continued to prove just why the Flyers wanted to keep him around. He, along with Travis Sanheim, has been a steady defensive top pair for the Flyers.
Jamie Drysdale has continued to blossom as an offensive blueliner. Dan Vladar has seen a career-high workload, but has continued his impressive work. Many players have contributed to the team’s surge, putting them smack in the playoff hunt.
