The flyers after tonight have officially hit the midway point of the season with 41 games played so far. These are the point totals in each of the last 5 seasons for the 8th seed/2nd wild card spot
2014-2015: 98
2013-2014: 93
2012-2013: 55 in 48 games which is a 94 point pace over 82 games
2011-2012: 92
2010-2011: 93
It is tough to project what the required point total will be for this season, but based on the previous 5 years, for arguments sake, let's set the magic number for the last playoff spot at 95 points. I guess if your a pessimist, you can set it at 97, but last years 98 point total by the Penguins seems to be an anomaly compared to previous years
So if 95 points is just good enough for the last playoff spot, and the flyers currently have 45 points in 41 games at 19-15-7, a record of 22-13-6 in the final 41 games would put them 95 for the season
I know it may seem like an uphill battle, but if the flyers can maintain some sort of consistently, I think the playoffs are certainly within reach. All they have to do is play at a slightly better pace than they did in the first 41, and with how bad they were to start the season when they were still getting used to hakstol, I don't think it's that far fetched
