Flyers Must Finally Build Off Playoff Momentum

The Hockey Writers' Andrew McGuinness argues that the Philadelphia Flyers must break a historical cycle of sluggish starts following playoff appearances. After returning to the postseason last year for the first time since 2019-20, the team faces an immediate test to sustain momentum and establish itself as a consistent contender.

McGuinness notes that Philadelphia faces a grueling early schedule, featuring six games against reigning playoff teams in their first seven matchups. He argues that continuing to win is essential for the franchise to attract top-tier talent and prove its developing core can compete.
