Flyers lose 10th straight for first time since 2008

It was the same old song and dance for the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday afternoon.

The team lost a 3-0 decision to the Boston Bruins to push their current losing streak to 10 games, marking the sixth time this season the club has been shut out.

The Flyers' current skid is now their longest since the 2007-2008 campaign, when they dropped 10 straight between Feb. 6 and Feb. 23, according to Dave Isaac of the Courier Post.

However, while the Flyers did lose 10 straight that season, they had the luxury of doing so later in the year and entered the skid with a record of 30-17-5, emerging at 30-25-7.

In the end, the Flyers still finished sixth in the Eastern Conference and managed to make it to the third round of the playoffs before bowing out to the Pittsburgh Penguins in five games.

This time around, the Flyers find themselves with a record of 8-11-7 - the third-worst in the East.
