Eric Hartline-US PRESSWIRE I can’t believe I’m saying this, but you should root for the Devils to win their last two games as well as for the Flyers to lose their last two games. What!?! I’m serious if that scenario takes place the Flyers would then finish in sixth and would play* the Florida Panthers in the first round (*Florida hasn’t clinched the division just yet, but they only need one point in their last two games to clinch the third spot).
