The Flyers can't buy a win, but if they don't want to be on the wrong side of NHL history, they'd better find a way to do it in the next two weeks.
The Philadelphia Flyers are winless in their first nine games of the season, putting them within reach of the NHL record for the longest winless streak to start a campaign. Broad Street Buzz's Nate Duffett reports that the Flyers are just six games away from matching the 15-game mark established by the 1943-44 New York Rangers.
Duffett notes that the slump comes after Philadelphia reached the second round of the playoffs last season with expectations of remaining contenders. With four playoff teams scheduled in their next stretch, Duffett highlights upcoming matchups against the Columbus Blue Jackets and Washington Capitals as pivotal before potentially matching or breaking the record.
