Injury-riddled Flyers look to end 10-game skid

Feb 25, 2008 - 4:33 PM Philadelphia (30-25-7) at Buffalo (30-24-8) 7:00 pm EST

BUFFALO, New York (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Flyers face the Buffalo Sabres on Monday looking for their first win since February 5.

The Flyers are 0-8-2 in their last 10 games to equal a losing streak set last season when Philadelphia finished as the worst team in the NHL.

The Flyers have also lost All-Star center Mike Richards, who leads the team with 66 points, for at least three weeks with a torn left hamstring.

"There's no sense waving a white flag right now," general manager Paul Holmgren said.

Philadelphia is coming off one of the most difficult losses in the streak, a 2-1 overtime loss to the Florida Panthers at home on Saturday.

The Flyers held a 1-0 advantage until Jay Bouwmeester scored with 3.7 seconds left in regulation. Olli Jokinen scored the game-winning goal 3:44 into overtime.

Buffalo, 6-3-1 in its last 10 games, is coming off a 4-3 loss to the New York Rangers on Saturday. The Sabres swept Philadelphia in a home-and-home set December 21-22.
