Important Philadelphia Flyers Games 2024

Philadelphia Flyers: A Trip Down Memory Lane

The Philadelphia Flyers were formed in 1967 and joined the National Hockey League that year as an expansion franchise. They hold the distinction of being the first expansion team to lift the Stanley Cup in the post-Original Six era, doing so in consecutive seasons in 1974 and 1975.

The Wells Fargo Center currently serves as the Flyers' home arena. Upon inception, they were part of the old West Division of the NHL. Of course, the league has been restructured a few times since then and the Flyers now compete in the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. They have minor league affiliations with the American Hockey League's Lehigh Valley Phantoms and the East Coast Hockey League's Reading Royals.

2019-20 Playoff Chances

The Flyers are currently well-placed in the Eastern Conference standings. Furthermore, a close battle is expected for the Metropolitan Division title between the Flyers, Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh Penguins, and a few other teams.

The Flyers' chances of making the playoffs are looking good due to their impressive win percentage, and they will be confident of securing a postseason slot in the upcoming games. Fans can follow their journey for the rest of the season by purchasing Philadelphia Flyers tickets, which are selling quickly.
