The Philadelphia Flyers' season has had some serious ups and downs.

Thursday's win over the Buffalo Sabres marked the club's fifth in a row, which comes on the heels of a 10-game losing streak that lasted from Nov. 11 to Dec. 2.

Goaltender Brian Elliott has been in net for all five games, allowing no more than two goals in the victories.

Not too long ago, it appeared as though the team's playoff chances were on thin ice.

The win over Buffalo, however, improved Philadelphia's record to 13-11-7, bringing them to within two points of the Eastern Conference's second wild-card spot.
