How the Vegas Golden Knights went from misfits to an aggressive retool to breaking the Flyers expansion record with a Stanley Cup championship in 2023, their sixth season in the NHL.
The first game of a seven-game points streak for the Flyers came against the Buffalo Sabres, who are back in Philly on Saturday night as the teams opens the month of April.
A failed coach's challenge allowed for two quick power-play goals, then another late in the first period essentially already put the game out of reach, as the Flyers streak reached 11 games with a 6-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon.
The Dallas Stars clinched a spot in the Stanley Cup Final on Monday and could be joined by one of the two teams left in the East on Tuesday. Also a look at a new coaching hire in the Metropolitan Division as a familiar face goes to Washington.
According to a report from Michael Russo of The Athletic, the Flyers will hire Minnesota Wild senior vice president of hockey operations Brent Flahr as their new assistant GM. The Flyers have not confirmed the hiring.
