No. 14: Philadelphia Flyers

Previous: No. 13

Record: 23-19-6 (52 points)

Philly’s hold on the second wild-card spot is getting tenuous with a 3-5-2 run, and the Metropolitan’s top four are pulling away. Thankfully for the Flyers, no one below them in the standings seems to want the spot either. If there’s any way to upgrade from the Steve Mason/Michal Neuvirth goaltending tandem by the trade deadline without selling the farm, the Flyers should actively consider it.
