Michael Del Zotto's season ended on Feb. 13, otherwise known as right before the Philadelphia Flyers started pushing back to ultimately clinch a playoff spot. Del Zotto obviously wasn't the reason they'd been out of the race prior to his injury - he would've made the defense that much better, had he been able to play.
