The Philadelphia Flyers remain focused on making a run for a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, despite what could happen before the trade deadline. "Doesn't matter if we keep all our guys, trade a few guys, whatever [general manager Ron Hextall] plans on doing, doesn't change our opinion of what we have in mind," forward Brayden Schenn said. "And that's making the playoffs and making a run these last 21 games." The Flyers are six points out of the second wild card from the Eastern Conference but remain confident. "We believe in this group," Schenn said. "I know we've been sliding a bit of late, but we've been in this position before. We've got 21 games left, six points out, battling with a lot of teams, but it's very doable. … You win some games, you win the right games, we should put ourselves in a good position." Finding more offense will help; they have 17 goals in 11 games since the All-Star break. Defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere scored his first goal in 34 games against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday and the hope is that he and others in goal droughts will get hot. "I think the next thing is when you get one they generally seem to come in bunches," forward Wayne Simmonds said. "Hopefully that happens for him." Goalie Steve Mason will play for the first time since Feb. 9; Michal Neuvirth had started the previous seven games.
