A Flyers jersey was tossed onto the ice amidst a 9-3 loss to Montreal

The game on Tuesday night is one that will be etched into the memory of the Philadelphia Flyers and their supporters for a considerable duration, especially in a crucial game like this one, where securing a win was imperative for making it to the NHL playoffs.

The Philadelphia Flyers find their playoff aspirations teetering in the Eastern Conference, mere weeks after seemingly securing a solid grasp on the third position in the Metropolitan Division.

On Tuesday night, the Flyers traveled north to face off against the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre, delivering a performance ill-befitting a team vying for a playoff spot.

With 2022 first-overall pick Juraj Slafkovsky netting a hat trick, the Montreal Canadiens proceeded to overwhelm the Philadelphia Flyers, securing a commanding 9-3 victory in the teams' final encounter of the season.


In the third period, a disgruntled Flyers fan in attendance expressed their discontent with the team's display by hurling their jersey onto the ice at the Bell Centre.




Despite the defeat, the Philadelphia Flyers trail the Washington Capitals by just two points for the second and final wild card position in the Eastern Conference. However, they'll need to surpass both the Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins to secure that spot. Complicating matters, both the Penguins and Capitals have a game in hand over the Flyers, heightening the stakes of tonight's game against the Canadiens, which could potentially decide their season.

It remains to be seen if the Philadelphia Flyers will undergo any changes this summer, regardless of their playoff status. This includes considerations regarding head coach John Tortorella.
