Future Flyer Cup-Winner
Ottawa is playing spoiler. Flyers are playing like a cheap car with a spoiler on it - looks flashy, but isn't exactly burning up the pavement.
Still, the Flyers can clinch the Atlantic with a win and Pittsburgh loss or an overtime loss and a Pitt regulation loss. A win will also keep them in control of their own destiny as far as the Eastern conference lead. Ottawa is currently in 27th in the NHL, so they don't have too much incentive to win or lose. A win would put them into 26th as they would pass the Islanders by virtue of tiebreaker, but both are lottery pick positions and it doesn't seriously hurt their lottery odds.
Stuff:
The home team has won every game between these two teams this season. Every game has been decided by 3 or more goals.
Let's go Flyers!
