Flyers Eliminate from Playoffs after 3-0 Loss to Blue Jackets

The Philadelphia Flyers were shut out 3-0 by the Columbus Blue Jackets in their final home game, marking the eighth time this season they've been blanked, while their power play struggles continued. With the loss, both the Flyers and the Buffalo Sabres head into their season finale already eliminated from playoff contention, and their final matchup will impact their odds in the 2025 NHL Draft lottery. Columbus, meanwhile, kept its playoff hopes alive with the win and strong goaltending from Jet Greaves, who stopped all 29 Flyers shots. Flyers players and interim coach Brad Shaw expressed disappointment, using the result as motivation for next season, while fans voiced frustration at the team's lackluster finish. The Flyers' current roster has found it difficult to generate offense, and their focus now shifts to the draft and developing young talent. Both teams are looking to end their seasons on a positive note despite the disappointing outcomes.
