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.
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.
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.
The Flyers picked right back up where they left off before the break. The result was a fourth straight win, a 3-1 defeat of the Winnipeg Jets that started off slow but finished solid and steady.
For all of the reasons that the Flyers have struggled this season, one area that has really been a primary reason for their lack of success has been an ongoing slump for the power play.
