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.

According to reports, the Flyers will open their 2019-20 season with a European trip.

The Flyers had Monday off, but there were injury concerns that needed to be addressed ahead of Wednesday's game against the Capitals.

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.

For the Flyers, this would be a great spot to announce their presence as a team that should content down the road.

In the end, it doesn't matter how the points come, as long as they keep coming.

The Flyers handled the struggling Ducks with four first-period goals and never looked back, picking up their 10th win in the last 12 games to keep the line moving.

In the end, the Flyers streak ends at eight, and they are left to regroup and find a way to get right back to the win column, because it is too crucial for their season not to.
