PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) - The Philadelphia Flyers have gone from the top of the Atlantic Division straight to the bottom.

The Flyers will be looking for their first win since February 5 when the host the Florida Panthers on Saturday.

Philadelphia has lost its last nine games, gaining only a single point since February 5 in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.

The slide has the Flyers in last place in the Atlantic and two points behind Boston (31-23-6), the New York Rangers (30-24-8) and the Buffalo Sabres (30-23-8) for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

They fell, 3-1, to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, and have not scored more than three goals in a game during the slide. Martin Biron has been in goal for six of the losses, surrendering four or more goals three times.

Top scorer Mike Richards has scored just one goal during the slide, while Mike Knuble snapped a seven-game goalless drought on Thursday.

The Panthers have dropped three in a row and five of six, twice losing after regulation.

Florida fell, 5-4, in a shootout against the Bruins on Thursday, surrendering a 3-1 lead while allowing a pair of unanswered goals in the third period. All-Star goaltender Tomas Vokoun took the shootout loss, and has allowed at least three goals in each of the last three games.

Philadelphia has won two of the three meetings between the teams this season, including a 5-3 victory on January 16.
