The Flyers going back outdoors? Cutter Gauthier standing out at World Championships. Plenty of Flyers connections in the Memorial Cup. All that and more in Flyers Notes.
For now, it keeps the Flyers in the playoff race when it all looked like the end. It's the biggest win of the season for the Flyers, who for one night, gave nearly 70,000 people a chance to celebrate.
The Flyers and Penguins are ready to take it outside. Lincoln Financial Field serves as the backdrop as the Flyers look to keep any playoff hopes remaining alive in their final game before the all-important trade deadline.
Perhaps the fourth time will be the charm. This is not the Flyers first rodeo in an outdoor setting. They have been on this stage three times before, but have yet to get a win.
The jerseys for the Stadium Series between the Flyers and Penguins were finally unveiled and Carter Hart receives an NHL honor for the month of January.
Earlier this week, we asked you where outdoor hockey should go next. We got a ton of really great responses, but one that came up a few times was Happy Valley!
Turns out hockey going back to its roots is exactly what the NHL needed. In fact, the success of the Winter Classic games (and to some extent the Heritage Classic games) have triggered a rebirth for the NHL, which had been experiencing a decline in interest following lockouts in 2004 - 2005 and 2012 - 2013.
