From afar, the Flyers are a streaky team. Ten games in a row without a victory, six straight wins to follow. Roll in how they teased and tormented their fans with lengthy streaks both good and bad last season, and it’s easy to understand how a 4-1 loss to a Los Angeles Kings team Monday – a team that still includes a handful of names etched on the Stanley Cup — can hold greater significance than just the two points lost.

“The results would say streaky,” Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said after their winning streak was snapped Monday night. “But we have played good hockey over the whole stretch. Now, it’s about getting results, and tonight we’ve got to look at ourselves and put our finger on a couple things we have to do better and that we are capable of doing better. Turn the page and have a good day of practice tomorrow and we go right back at it and we continue with this busy stretch.’’

To Flyers fans, this is a familiar refrain. We played good enough to win, we just didn’t. Just a few mistakes here or there. We’ll get them next time, which for the Flyers is a Wednesday home game against Detroit, the last of five in a row.
