The Philadelphia Flyers suffered a 6-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, marking their second blowout defeat in three games. Despite still holding a playoff spot, concerns arise as they face a challenging schedule ahead. The Flyers managed to score a goal late in the game, but their struggles continue. Meanwhile, the Boston Bruins secured a 2-1 overtime victory against the Montreal Canadiens, with DeBrusk scoring the decisive goal. The Flyers are set to face the Bruins next, aiming to break their losing streak against Boston.

Last night confirmed it: the Flyers are in real trouble when it comes to securing a playoff spot. What might save them, however, is the fact that the rest of the teams in the Eastern Conference playoff race are struggling just as much as they are:⬇️ https://t.co/IfQFs6lQVK

Flyers lose 6-2, their second blowout loss in three games. They're still in a playoff spot, but they really need to get back going in the right direction ASAP. Boston won't make it easy for them to do that on Saturday.
Flyers lose 6-2. Twice in four games without Sean Walker they've gotten smoked. Concerning, with the way their schedule is over the next week-plus, including in Boston on Saturday.
GOAL! @tfoerster8 nets his 17th goal, our 15th SHG of the season with 1:32 remaining. #TORvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/MeaGrOZpEI
