They’ve played 60 games and have 22 to go. That’s a possible 44 points available if they were to somehow run the table the last six weeks of the season. That’s probably not happening. However, after losing to Washington 3-1 in their first game after the Olympic break, Philadelphia has managed to beat the Rangers, then eke out victories against the Bruins and, on Monday night, Toronto. That’s six of a possible eight points. It puts them four points out of a wildcard spot heading into Tuesday ni...
