Second-year coach Dave Hakstol said his captain, Claude Giroux, is among many Flyers who are pressing and trying to do too much to get the team out of its funk.
For that reason, he said the five-day break between games will help "clear minds" before they return against visiting New Jersey on Saturday.
The Flyers have lost 11 of 14 (3-8-3) since their 10-game winning streak was snapped. They could become the first team in NHL history to miss the playoffs during a season in which they won 10 in a row.
"We've got to solve the consistency," Hakstol said at a news conference Tuesday at the Flyers' practice facility in Voorhees.
