Just seven games remain in the 2024-25 season for the Flyers, and the six that follow Monday night’s game against the Nashville Predators are certainly going to be spaced out. As the Flyers close out March, they will have six games in April, but only two in the first 11 days of the month, as the rest of the league continues action.

Interim head coach Brad Shaw provided a reason after the game. “It was just a disciplinary issue and I’m not going to go beyond that,” Shaw said.
