May
It’ll be a quick final five games to end the regular season. The Flyers play five days during the first eight days of the month. They will finish up their series against the Devils before a pair of back to backs to end the year. They’ll get two days in between these sets against the Penguins and Capitals.
April 1st: New Jersey Devils
April 3rd & 4th: Pittsburgh Penguins
April 7th & 8th: Washington Capitals
And that’ll do it for the Flyers regular season schedule. Hopefully they will be gearing up for another postseason run after this.
So that is four months with 56 games and seven total opponents. When we previewed this division before, the Flyers had a fairy good record looking at last season.
They posted an 11-5-3 record against this group of teams last season. That’s 14 out of a possible 19 points they captured. It won’t be that easy this season, especially with the heavily condensed schedule.
The Flyers are bringing back a very identical team to the one that made it to the second round this season. With a second year under Alain Vigneault and the return of Oskar Lindblom and Nolan Patrick, the Flyers are poised to make some noise in the East.
The amount of depth this team has should make them one of the favorites to come out of this division come playoff time. It’s all about fighting through a tough schedule.
