The Flyers had a successful night yesterday thanks to the Kraken

The Flyers are in Montreal to face off against the Canadiens tonight at the Bell Centre. It will be a battle of two very poor teams, but let's get it right : Mike Yeo's players must lose. You sure know why : with 5 games to go, the Flyers must have the best possible odds going into the Draft Lottery that will be held on May 10th.

And if we think like that, what happened last night was a step in the right direction. The Kraken, who won 3-2 against the Colorado Avalanche, surpassed the Flyers in the NHL overall standings with that "W". Seattle is now at the 29th place with 58 points. Philadelphia has 57 and has played one more game.

With a loss tonight, the Canadiens will reduce the gap between them and the Flyers to 4 points. Both teams will still have 4 games to go after tonight's one.

The Flyers could very well finish at the 31st place.
