from Sam Carchidi of Philly.com,
The Flyers set an NHL record Tuesday night at Capital One Arena.
The bad news: It was an unwanted record — seven goalies used in a team’s first 43 games.
The worse news: The new goalie, the well-traveled Mike McKenna, couldn’t stop the Flyers' spiral as they lost their eighth straight, falling to the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals, 5-3, at Capital One Arena.
McKenna, 35, played decently as he became the seventh Flyers goalie to perform this season. The St. Louis native stopped 21 of 25 shots and allowed one bad goal as the Flyers fell to 0-6-2 in their last eight games. The longest winless streak in franchise history is 12 straight (0-8-4) in 1999.
