The Philadelphia Flyers consider themselves "lucky" that they're not further out of a playoff spot. Philadelphia is just 3-7-0, even after winning two straight games, but they're only five points out of a playoff spot at this early stage of the season. That's because the Metropolitan Division has been surprisingly underwhelming. In their division, only the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Islanders have picked up at least a point per game so far this season.
