from Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer,

"We're playing a good team game now and everybody is contributing," captain Claude Giroux said after the Flyers overcame an awful 15-minute second-period stretch and outlasted sad-sack Buffalo, 2-1, on Sunday.

Thanks to a nine-game points streak (6-0-3), the Flyers are just six points behind Boston for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot. Boston lost to Calgary in overtime Monday night....

"The odds are still against us . . . but I like the resiliency of our group," general manager Ron Hextall said. "We believe we can make the playoffs. We like our depth."
