The Philadelphia Flyers once again failed to win four games in a row, falling to the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 in regulation. Four times this season, the Flyers have won three games in a row, and they've lost every single game that would've made it four straight wins.
It's happened twice since the Winter Olympic break alone, and they haven't won four games in a row since 2024. Aside from being a quirky stat, this penchant for losing immediately after winning three in a row speaks to a larger issue: an inability to step up when the games truly matter.
