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.
If the Flyers did everything they could to eliminate chances in front of Carter Hart in the first two games of his career, they didn't do him any favors in his third game.
If you saw that Sean Couturier was out of the Flyers lineup and the Flyers fell behind 2-0 in the first 10 minutes of Saturday's game to the Sabres and wrote them off, you probably wouldn't be alone.
