Flyers Playing Better But Still Losing Ground

It appears that the Flyers are fans of Thanksgiving. Three games were played from Wednesday through Saturday with a possibility of gaining six points. Of those six, five were earned with an overtime loss to Ottawa (3-2), coupled with wins against Columbus (3-2) and at Montreal (4-2). Jared at Bullies Blog points out that the Flyers are 4-2-1 over their last seven games. Those are good numbers to be sure, but take a look at the last 10 games. In that span, the Flyers are just 4-4-2 for 10 points. Also in that span, the Flyers gained points on just three other teams (Florida [six points], Pittsburgh [nine points], and Washington [eight points]), stayed even with no other teams, and lost ground to the remaining 11 teams. Definitely not good numbers.
