Flyers Files: Early-Season Struggles

Welcome to another edition of Flyers Files, an exclusive podcast available only on 97.3 ESPN. The early-season struggles continued for the Flyers as their losing streak increased to six games.

Following two lackluster games on home ice against the Canucks and Capitals, the Flyers fell again to the Capitals on the road, but started to show signs of life later in the game. Could a turnaround be on the horizon?

Goaltending remains a question for the Flyers, as Ivan Fedotov's struggles continued. How short is the leash on Fedotov remaining in the Flyers backup role, as rumblings of Alexei Kolosov making his debut grow louder?

Another conundrum with the Flyers is Jett Luchanko. The rookie has sat out both games against Washington and figures to be a healthy scratch again on Saturday against Minnesota? Is he on the verge of being sent back to juniors and is that the best move at this point for his development?

The struggles of the team did not hold Matvei Michkov back from continuing to get points. The 19-year-old maintains a point-per-game pace through seven games, adding his third goal of the season on Wednesday.
