3-2 Flyers
GWG: Jakub Voracek
The Flyers are desperate for wins and these are the kind of games that they have to win. With Ottawa mailing it in, the Flyers should do enough to get by despite the best efforts of Ottawa's top players.
Record: 43-35, 48 Points
1 Exact Scores, 4 Game Winning Goals

5-2 Flyers
GWG: Claude Giroux
The Flyers are the opposite of the Senators: all of their talent is on the blueline. Some quick neutral zone transition plays — the Senators weakness all season — burn them yet again
Record: 39-39, 46 Points
6 Exact Scores, 1 Game Winning Goals

They're one of the hottest teams in the league at the moment, and in a dogfight for the playoffs. Should be a slaughter

5-2 Flyers
GWG: Shayne Gostisbehere
Philadelphia will be desperate as they battle it out for the final East Wild Card. Ottawa will be weary after a two-game mid-western road trip.

3-0 Flyers
GWG: Jakub Voracek
The Flyers have something to play for. At home. The Senators do not, which is almost the exact opposite as last year's game in Philadelphia. They aren't going to lose to a bad team.
