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.

Matt Murray made 50 saves to keep the Flyers at bay in a 4-1 loss to the Penguins that stings. It also marks a serious blow to any playoff hopes the Flyers had left.

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.

The 20-year-old rookie sensation did it again. Carter Hart is becoming a regular rock star in South Philadelphia.

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.

Flyers forward Dale Weise was not on the ice for practice on Friday and has apparently been told to stay home as the Flyers try to work out a trade for the veteran forward.

A clean slate for the orange and black rings in a new era for the team, one where they can hopefully move on from the identity of inconsistency.
