Don't look now, but the Philadelphia Flyers are slowly but surely creeping their way up the Eastern Conference standings, with a now infamous event serving as the impetus for their turn around.
Flyers said their brawl in 7-0 loss to Caps was a rallying pt. They are 4-1-1 since then.

Flyers are 4-1-1 since Washington fiasco, and have outscored teams 11-3 since getting shut out by NJ and having that closed-door meeting.

The Flyers beat the Metropolitan Division-leading Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday, moving one point back of the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes in the race for third, and only five points back of first.
