Flyers Lose, Stuck in Playoff Limbo

0:00Welcome to NHL News Today. Two minutes of updates that matter to NHL fans, hit subscribe and stay connected. The Philadelphia Flyers suffered a tough 2-1 shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 14, leaving them six points out of A. Playoff spot. Hopes were high that morning for a chance to close the gap to just three points, but it wasn't meant to be. Columbus is now just one point from a wild car position and has only lost twice in regulation over their last 22 games since January 11th. That hot streak makes it tough for the Flyers, who would need near perfection in their remaining games to have any shot. For fans, this puts the team in that frustrating middle ground. Not quite good enough for the playoffs, but not bad enough for a top draft pick either. Lottery Luck could help, but it's a long shot, leaving everyone in limbo. On a brighter note, Prospect David Gishadek had a strong 3.9 with three assists for the Flyers A. H. L. Affiliate, the Lehigh Valley, Phantoms.

1:02Acquired at the trade deadline, the 22-year-old has one goal and three assists in his first three games there, showing real promise for the future. Looking ahead, the Flyers hit the road for three games this week, Wednesday at 10 p.m. against the Anaheim Ducks Thursday at 10.30 p.m. versus the Los Angeles Kings and Saturday at 4 p.m. Facing the San Jose Sharks.
