Flyers hit some milestones:  

Winners of their last five, the Flyers have now surpassed last years' point total of 81 with 13 games remaining.  They currently sit in third place in the Wales Conference and 7th overall in the league. After the winning streak, the Flyers also find themselves just four points back of rival New Jersey for the Patrick Division lead with two head to head games remaining. 

"That's out of our control.  We will play hard and get ready for the playoffs.  There's still a lot of hockey to be played this year,"  responded captain John Leclair, who just scored his 35th goal, the third time he's done that in his career and the seventh consecutive time he's hit the 30 goal mark.
