The Flames set the tone early with a goal just 1:35 into the game and the Flyers struggled to generate chances.

It was another disappointing season for the Flyers. Another slow start through the first 25 games. Another season of chasing in the standings. Another season of chasing the game on a nightly basis.

The Flyers didn't get much help in the playoff race, but did close the margin to five points with another convincing win over the Islanders.

The Flyers didn't carry the play for most of the night, but took advantage of the opportunities they had to keep hanging around in the playoff picture with a 4-1 win over the Islanders.

For a change, the Flyers got off to a quick start and never looked back, leading nearly wire to wire in a 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.

On a rain-soaked night, Claude Giroux marked a special occasion with his 800th NHL game, only the third Flyer to reach that mark in franchise history. He celebrated by capping off one of the Flyers most dramatic wins.

The Flyers announced on Saturday morning that goalie Carter Hart will be out at least 10 days with a lower-body injury.

The Flyers gave up three goals in the first period again, then two more in the second, to essentially turn this one into garbage time.

According to TSN’s Darren Dreger, the Flyers are in preliminary discussions with the Edmonton Oilers regarding a trade around goalie Cam Talbot.

The Flyers made another roster decision, placing forward Jori Lehtera on waivers. GM Chuck Fletcher announced the move on Wednesday morning.
