*The Flyers play the Blue Jackets for the second time in as many weeks tonight, a team with whom they are in direct competition for a playoff spot. Ten days ago, they absolutely blew it. Tonight, they gotta get out there and prove they’re a team that wants to play past April. Time to nut up or shut up, boys. [BSH]

*Anyhoo, got a bit of news yesterday as the Flyers signed another one of their prospects to his ELC. [BSH]

*You may have noticed, over the weekend, that Owen Tippett was getting some shifts at center. Curious, no? Rick Tocchet gave a little insight into how he arrived at the decision to do this. [BSH]

*Surveys are always fun, right? Everyone likes to feel heard. Always nice to get a look at what the fan base writ large is thinking and feeling about the team. Yeah so here’s the results from the latest Flyers fan survey over at The Athletic. [The Athletic]

*If the Flyers DO do the thing and get themselves into the postseason, it’s very likely that we’re going to get a look at Porter Martone. So why not start thinking about where he might fit into this lineup? [BSH]

*And finally, everyone likes a ranked list, so how’s about some opinions about what the best possible first-round matchups could be? Sure why not. [ESPN]
