With seven games left in the Philadelphia Flyers’ 2023-24 season, the NHL playoff push is surprisingly trending toward a dramatic finish.
The 36-29-10 Flyers have slid down to the last wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference, tied with the Washington Capitals at 82 points apiece. Washington, however, has two games in hand over the Flyers.
Then there’s the Detroit Red Wings, who, despite being 3-5-2 in their last 10 games, are right on the Flyers’ tails, sitting at 80 points with a game in hand.
If the NHL playoffs started today, the second wildcard Flyers would face the Metropolitan Division-leading New York Rangers in the first round.
Going hand in hand with the Flyers‘ high-stakes games, putting a wager on the Orange and Black might amp up the excitement and the thrill of the playoff race.
