With their 4-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday, the Flyers broke out of the mold they’ve been stuck nearly all season.
The Flyers’ most recent wins may not have come on back-to-back games, but Saturday’s win accomplished something the 2021-22 Flyers have not been able to do often this season: It stopped another losing streak.
Before Saturday, once the Flyers lost two in a row, another losing streak was a valid concern. When the Flyers have lost this season, they haven’t lost just one or two games. They’ve suffered through losing streaks three times, including slumps of 13, 10, and six games. Through those losses, they’ve seemed snakebit, with injuries piling up and bounces going against them.
