WINNIPEG, Manitoba - The Flyers' flickering playoff hopes have almost faded to black.
They moved closer toward being eliminated as they lost to injury-ravaged Winnipeg, 3-2, at the MTS Centre on Tuesday night.
The Flyers had little attack time against a Jets defense filled with AHL call-ups, and they played yet another uninspiring game on the road, where they have just four wins in their last 22 games (4-15-3).
Opening a make-or-break four-game trip, they were soundly outplayed and they remain seven points out of a playoff spot with 10 games left.
Blake Wheeler fired a right-circle shot past Steve Mason's glove to give Winnipeg a 2-1 lead with 12 minutes, 58 seconds left.
