The Philadelphia Flyers face off against the Pittsburgh Penguins in an East Coast Throw Down

The Philadelphia Flyers is on top of the heap in the Eastern Conference and when they play the ailing Pittsburgh Penguins, it could be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The eternal optimist will tell you the Flyers are 5-1-4 in their last 10 games and are on pace to finish the season with 109 points.

The typical Philadelphia sports fan will tell you they've lost four of their last six games and are playing like a team that will get bounced in the first round of the playoffs.

But if you want a true assessment on the Flyers, one statistic should cause concern for a team with seven games remaining in the regular season.

The Flyers committed a season-high 20 turnovers against the Bruins Sunday. And it wasn't just center Claude Giroux, who led the club with four giveaways. Thirteen different Flyers gave the puck away in their 2-1 loss to the Bruins.

The Flyers will try to shake their recent bad play with a game against the Penguins.

The Flyers still lead the Eastern Conference with 100 points, two ahead of the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins. The Flyers hold a game in hand on both teams and will play the Penguins for the final time this season on Tuesday night in Pittsburgh. If the Flyers can hold onto the conference lead, they are likely to face the eighth-seeded Buffalo Sabres or New York Rangers in the opening round of the playoffs. If they lose the lead, they're likely to fall to fourth in the conference and face the fifth-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Flyers are 1-5 in their last six against a team with a winning record and the Penguins are 4-1 in their last five games following a win. The Pens beat the limping Flyers in a crucial game in the standings.
