If it wasn't over before Tuesday, it certainly is now. A lifeless performance by the Flyers in Tuesday's loss to Winnipeg, which on the scoreboard read 3-2, was likely the final nail in the coffin.
There are 10 games remaining, including three incredibly difficult opponents on the remainder of this road trip, starting with the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night.
The opening face-off is set for 8 p.m.

Steve Mason dropped Tuesday's game in Winnipeg as he continued his heavy workload in the past few weeks. That shows no signs of slowing down, as he is back in net for Thursday's game.
Devan Dubnyk has been a driving force of Minnesota's success this season, racking up 37 wins and posting one of the best GAA's in the league.
