The Flyers get a heavy dose of the Eastern Conference this week. First up, the winless Florida Panthers on Tuesday night. Game time is at 7 p.m.

The overall scope of this game was more positive for the Flyers. The penalty kill was better. The defensive coverage was better. There were chances to capitalize. But as has been the case with the Flyers for really the last decade now, it doesn’t seem to keep the frustrating finishes at bay.

Cody Eakin scored with 1:25 left in regulation for the only goal of the game, as the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Flyers, 1-0, behind a stellar start from Marc-Andre Fleury on Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center.

In just their fifth game of the season, the Flyers wrap up the season series with the Vegas Golden Knights, a team struggling out of the game with losses in four of their first five games. Game time is set for 1 p.m.

After an embarrassing result on Tuesday, Wednesday night provides the Flyers with a chance to quickly put the loss behind them. But against a Senators team that so many have predicted will be the worst in the league, don’t expect it to be easy. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.

Even this early in the season, the response to a loss like the Flyers 8-2 drubbing to the San Jose Sharks can determine where this season is heading before it even picks up steam.

Embarrassing isn’t a good enough word for what the Flyers showed on the ice on Tuesday in an 8-2 mauling from the San Jose Sharks. We break it down further in our Postgame Review of Flyers-Sharks.

The Sharks scored at 3:17 of the first period, then scored again 11 seconds later. By the end of the first period, the rout was on as San Jose struck four times in the opening 20 minutes in a 8-2 laugher over the Flyers on Tuesday night at Wells Fargo Center.

A lot of the bubble players will get a look in Thursday’s preseason game against the New York Rangers, the final one on home ice in the preseason. Game time from Wells Fargo Center is set for 7 p.m.

There was more clarity in the Flyers lines at practice as the preseason winds down. Also, the Flyers released a statement regarding Jori Lehtera and updated injuries.

Despite the three-goal rally that made it a game again on the scoreboard, the Flyers were badly outplayed for a stretch of the game and made mistakes that can’t translate to regular-season play. More from the Flyers 4-3 loss to the Bruins in our Postgame Review.

A frantic rally nearly erased it a horrendous start. The Flyers scored three times in 2:44 to cut the Boston lead to one with 8:43 remaining in regulation. They could not get any closer though, as the Bruins held on for a 4-3 win over the Flyers at Wells Fargo Center on Monday night.
