There is only one way to kill the momentum of a four-game winning streak and that is to follow it up with a four-game losing streak.

The Flyers continued on their skid, dropping their fourth straight game. They lost to Buffalo, 1-0, Saturday afternoon, pushing them closer to mathematical elimination from the post season.

In the last four games, the Flyers were out-scored 12-3. The power play had also fizzled, going 0-for-2 on the night to continue their skid to 0-for-15.

The Philadelphia Flyers' season is likely over.

After dropping a 3-1 decision to the Ottawa Senators on Thursday, they find themselves seven points back of the final playoff spot with eight games to go, needing a bevy of extremely unlikely circumstances to occur for them to even slide into the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference.

"We have a game coming up," head coach Peter Laviolette said after the loss. "We need to win hockey games and focus on the next one."

That may be the only thing the Flyers can do—just try to win with what they have.

The Flyers have signed overage free agent forward Petr Straka to a three-year entry level contract, per his agent Allan Walsh on Twitter.

Walsh added in his tweet that the Flyers were among 12 teams interested in Straka. The contract is worth $832,500 plus a $277,000 signing bonus per year for three years.

The Flyers need to stop focusing on the playoffs and just focus on finishing the season strong. They host Ottawa, another team struggling to stay alive in the playoff race.
