"Had things gone just a bit differently, this could have been a very ugly week for the Flyers.

You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in the team's locker room at Skate Zone who felt good about Tuesday's game against the Winnipeg Jets, a 2-1 shootout loss on home ice. That game was another example of this season's disturbing theme of poor performances at the Wells Fargo Center.

With the red-hot Nashville Predators in town on Thursday, it could have been very easy for the Flyers to follow up their lackluster Winnipeg loss with yet another loss on home ice. Instead, they defeated one of the toughest teams in the NHL with the home crowd in the stands.

Thursday's 4-1 win over the Predators was an important move toward righting the home-record ship. The road-warrior Flyers' record in Philly now stands at 13-8-3. And going forward, their goal is to make it even stronger."
