Adnan
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

Ary
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

5-1 Flyers
GWG: Jakub Voracek

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

Record: 41-37, 46 Points
3 Exact Scores, 2 Game Winning Goals

Callum
3-2 Flyers
GWG: Claude Giroux

Just for old time's sake, Mark Stone will have both in this game. Ah, memories.

Record: 42-36, 55 Points
7 Exact Scores, 6 Game Winning Goals

Ian
4-1 Flyers
GWG: Wayne Simmonds

The Sens get out-matched by the Flyers despite numerous powerplay opportunities. It's an ugly one.

Record: 39-39, 46 Points
3 Exact Scores, 4 Game Winning Goals

Jordan
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.

Record: 12-6, 15 Points
1 Exact Scores, 2 Game Winning Goals

The Flyers are pushing for the playoffs, which means Ottawa will end up winning because reasons.

1 Exact Scores, 1 Game Winning Goals

Trevor
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.

5 Exact Scores, 7 Game Winning Goals
