Flyers would have to lose by exactly two goals vs. Rangers and Panthers win their last two (vs BUF and BOS) via shootout.
Probably won't happen, but would be interesting if it somehow did.

I was actually thinking about this today because the ROW and season series are tied and goal differential is so close between Flyers and Panthers. twitter.com/TomGulittiNHL/…by Tom Gulitti via twitter 4/6/2018 9:22:31 PM

Colorado needs to defeat St. Louis in regulation tomorrow, so they'd have to pull goalie late in third period if tied.
With an OT win, they'd be tied in points and in ROW and then lose head-to-head points tiebreak. twitter.com/devlzfan/statu…by Tom Gulitti via twitter 4/7/2018 3:26:01 AM -
