The Philadelphia Flyers' playoff hopes look to be lost after a 9-3 thrashing by the Montreal Canadiens tonight.

The Philadelphia Flyers' playoff hopes look to be lost after a 9-3 thrashing by the Montreal Canadiens tonight.

Fans inside the Bell Centre took their frustration out on the ice with a jersey toss. 

2022 first-overall pick Juraj Slafkovsky netted his first career hat trick. He is the second youngest Canadiens player to score a hat trick at 20 years and ten days. 

The Flyers' hopes of making the postseason have dwindled into miracle range. The New York Islanders beat the New York Rangers 4-2 and the Washington Capitals beat the Detroit Red Wings 2-1.

Coming into tonight's game, the Flyers desperately needed to win to keep some hope alive for the postseason.

According to Moneypuck.com, the Flyers' playoff chances dropped 16.7% with tonight's regulation loss. Their chances could be even lower based on other results.

It looks like a brutal end to a season with so much unexpected hope.
