Matvei Michkov and the Flyers face off against Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks as the homestand continues on Saturday afternoon.

The Flyers struggles continued in a 5-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers get back on home ice on Saturday night for their final game of March, taking on the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Flyers return to the ice on Wednesday night to take on Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks at 7:30 p.m.

A low-cost deal that could be flipped at the deadline? Take a flier on a low-risk, high-reward player looking for a chance? There are a few scenarios for the Flyers in free agency starting Saturday.

One day, you could be where the Flyers were to start the season, seven wins in the first 12 games. The next though, you can be where the Flyers are right now, mired in a five-game losing streak that is halfway to a mark that has become an identifier of where the franchise currently is.

The Bruins' talent became too much to overcome, as the Flyers dropped their fifth straight game, 4-1, to the Bruins on Thursday night.

The Boston Bruins come to town, playing in just their second game of the season. For three Flyers, it will mark their first game in the Orange and Black.

You can imagine how the result looked when the Boston Bruins, playing in their first preseason home game, took the opportunity to load up with roughly 90 percent of the NHL roster. It's hardly a way to evaluate how one team looks against another. It did present some early warning signs that need to be addressed and cleaned up with exactly two weeks remaining until the regular season opener.

The Bruins came away with a 4-2 win over the Flyers in the second game of the preseason for the Orange and Black.
