When you’re talking about bright sides, most people believe that they boil down to the light at the end of the tunnel for the Philadelphia Flyers.
Sometimes it’s nice to enjoy a little success in the present while waiting for that bright future, though.
The Flyers are providing at least a burst of sunshine lately, as Tuesday’s 4-2 win against the Ottawa Senators gives them ... (drum roll) their first three-game winning streak of this season.
Joy abounded.
For those keeping track at home, Philadelphia sports teams are undefeated this December. pic.twitter.com/q9gCzqV2ZU

Even in recent darker moments, Philly’s been pretty impressive on offense, so Flyers fans are likely relieved to see a relative offensive outburst.
Coots ENG and its 4-2. Flyers will win 3 in a row for 1st time this season. Four goals. Had not done that in 18 games

Sure, it wasn’t all rainbows and unicorns - Radko Gudas might have gotten himself into some trouble, for instance - yet this is still a nice sign of life for a team expected to finish in the draft lottery.
If that fails ... hey, the future may require shades.
