What more can the Flyers say?<\/p>\n
They seem to have very few answers for this troubling \u2014 perhaps defining \u2014 stretch of their 2025-26 season. They stumbled to the Bruins, 6-3, Thursday night at TD Garden.<\/p>\n
Travis Konecny, Nikita Grebenkin and Matvei Michkov provided the team’s goals. The Flyers were down 3-0 when Konecny scored, 5-1 when Grebenkin got on the board and 6-2 when Michkov put one home on the power play.<\/p>\n
After upending the juggernaut Avalanche, 7-3<\/a>, last Friday night, the Flyers (24-20-9) have lost three straight by a combined score of 15-6. They’ve dropped 10 of their last 12 games (2-8-2) and have allowed 4.58 goals per game over that span.<\/p>\n Rick Tocchet’s club has given up four or more goals nine times this month.<\/p>\n The Bruins (32-20-3) are trending in a totally different direction, having won 10 of their last 12 games (10-1-1). This was the first of three meetings this season between the Flyers and Boston.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Flyers are 2-8-2 over their last 12 games after a 6-3 loss Thursday night to the Bruins. The Flyers Postgame Live crew discussed its concerns with only three games left until the Olympic break.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \u2022 The Flyers are in a real precarious spot.<\/p>\n This maybe wasn’t a playoff-or-bust season, but the Flyers wanted to get better. And part of getting better should be avoiding these lengthy stretches of head-scratching play, these lopsided, uncompetitive games.<\/p>\n The Flyers made it clear before the season that they did not want to be in selling mode<\/a> unless they had to be. They showed that with a five-year commitment to Christian Dvorak<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n While the Flyers weren’t going to be a major buyer at the March 6 trade deadline, you have to wonder what their motives will be if they can’t stop this slide.<\/p>\n
