With a 4-1 defeat to the Wild, the Flyers have two straight losses and they lost two more players in the process.
Alain Vigneault's team stomached a discouraging night Saturday at Xcel Energy Center, suffering consecutive losses in regulation for the first time since Oct. 27-29.
The Flyers (17-10-5) have scored just one goal in three of their last four games, resulting in three regulation losses. In their previous 17 games, the Flyers lost in regulation only twice.
The Wild (16-12-5) improved to 9-1-3 at home and 12-3-4 overall since Nov. 5.
• The Flyers entered the game without forwards Oskar Lindblom (Ewing's sarcoma diagnosis), Travis Konecny (concussion), Michael Raffl (broken right pinkie finger) and Nolan Patrick (migraine disorder).
Their only extra healthy player was defenseman Robert Hagg.

News on the health front got worse during the action as forwards Scott Laughton and Tyler Pitlick left the game with undisclosed injuries and did not return.
Some more roster maneuvering could be on the way as early as Sunday morning. The Flyers have no time to rest up.
• Flyers defensemen were not sharp.
Philippe Myers had a bad turnover on Zach Parise's first-period goal. Ivan Provorov had the same in the second period, which led to Eric Staal's second goal of the night to give the Wild a 3-1 lead.
Travis Sanheim and Justin Braun were also a step behind and not in good position on Staal's first goal, which turned out to be the game-winner during the opening stanza.
Just one of those games in which the Flyers were off from top to bottom.
• As a result, Carter Hart was sprawling all over the place, trying to save the Flyers. He finished with 24 stops on 27 shots.
• Joel Farabee dropped the gloves with Marcus Foligno and it was a rough matchup for the 19-year-old.
• James van Riemsdyk got the Flyers on the board 1:34 into the game. However, the lead didn't last long and the Flyers finished with just 18 shots.
• The Flyers' power play went 0 for 3 and is 6 for its last 55 (10.9 percent).
• Lindblom's jersey hung symbolically in the team's dressing room. The Flyers are rallying behind their 23-year-old brother and teammate as he starts his fight against cancer (see story).
• The Flyers are right back at it Sunday when they visit the Jets (5 p.m. ET/NBCSP+).
