The Eastern Conference playoff picture is largely set. The final wild-card team (Washington) is on pace for 98 points. The Flyers have 51 points in 51 games. Even if the Caps were to fall back to the traditional 93-point pace required for a playoff spot (the average in the East since 2005), the Flyers would need to go something like 20-8-3 while the Caps went 15-14-3 to close out the year. The bleak outlook will only become more clear this week, with just one game for the Flyers between now and Sunday.
