Last night at the Wells Fargo Center, the Philadelphia Flyers played a strange — but entertaining — game against the Nashville Predators in a 4-3 shootout loss. Both games against Nashville this season ended up being decided by skills competition. The Flyers won the first one in Nashville. The Preds returned the favor in Philly.

It was not exactly artistic and it took three goals in the final six-and-a-half minutes of the game to accomplish their objective, but the Philadelphia Flyers skated off with a 4-3 regulation victory on the road against the Buffalo Sabres. The victory halted Philly’s two-game losing skid.

MONDAY QUICK HITS
* The Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Rangers are two clubs that, no matter how well the Flyers are playing leading up games against those teams, always give Philly trouble. Therefore, it was not surprising — but it was disappointing — that Philly lost both ends of their weekend back-to-back games with those two teams.
In Sunday’s 4-1 loss in New York, the Flyers simply

FRIDAY QUICK HITS
* The Flyers announced on Thursday that Zac Rinaldo, who recorded a goal and a fight in Wednesday’s 3-1 home win over the Montreal Canadiens, sustained a high ankle sprain in the game. He will be out for the next six weeks.
The revelation of the injury was very surprising, at least to me. After Wednesday’s game, Rinaldo seemed fine. He was in a jovial mood, joking around wi

FLYERS CAPTURE 10th CONSECUTIVE WIN AT HOME
The Philadelphia Flyers have been winning a lot of different ways of late. On Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center, they didn’t have to rely on comeback hockey or the fates of overtimes or shootouts. Instead, they grabbed an early lead and never looked back in a workmanline 3-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens.
The win was the 10th in a row on
