Tonight, the Philadelphia Flyers will look to bounce back from a loss to the Calgary Flames when they collide with the Winnipeg Jets. Since returning from the 4 Nations Face-Off hiatus, the team has posted a 3-2 record that includes a 2-1 shootout win over Winnipeg on Saturday.
Because of that, tonight's rematch seems poised to deliver fireworks as the Flyers look to close out their regular season series with a win. On the flip side, Winnipeg will be looking to snap a three-game skid that most recently saw them drop a 3-2 loss to the Islanders.
Currently, the Flyers are sitting in seventh place in the Metropolitan Division with a record of 27-27-8, putting them just one point behind the sixth-place Islanders. While the team is sitting in the bottom half of the divisional standings, they're just five points outside of wild card contention.
