10. That's number of games left this season.
The Flyers will play their first match this week tomorrow in Washington against the Capitals. They will then host the Rangers on Wednesday, before going to Buffalo on Saturday. They will finish the week on Sunday at Wells Fargo Center as they will play the Sabres again.
Of course, the team is already eliminated from playoff contention, but those last games will certainly be exciting for Flyers fans.
Yesterday, the team signed right winger
Bobby Brink to a 3 year entry-level contract. He should be at practice today.

What's the plan with him? Obviously, he's going to integrate the lineup and will probably play his first game tomorrow. But nothing is for sure for the moment. We'll have to wait for Mike Yeo's decision...
With Bobby Brink, the Flyers could now possibly have 8 players age 24 or under in the lineup. It's very encouraging for the future.
For the fans who didn't follow closely Brink's career in the NCAA : you are going to love him. For some reporters, Brink is the best prospect the Flyers have.
He's described as a player with an impressive hockey sense. He sees the ice extremely well and his compete level is top notch.
1. Talking about Bobby Brink, he was absolutely robbed this weekend, despite winning the National Championship with the University of Denver. He was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award but didn't win it. Dryden McKay, a goalie, was the winner. However, he was not chosen as the best goalie in college hockey.
It just doesn't make sense.
2.
Ethan Samson is an intriguing prospect. He was selected in the 6th round in last year's draft by the Flyers. The defenseman is having a fantastic year in the WHL with the Prince George Cougars with 43 points in 66 games.
3.
Emil Andrae continues to be an absolute force in Sweden. I'm really looking forward to see him in North America.
