The Flyers closed out their slate of preseason games Saturday evening with a matchup against Capitals, a game which ended in a lopsided loss, and left the Flyers with some areas of their game to address as they approach Wednesday’s regular season opener. There’s some on-ice work that needs to be done, to be sure, but as Flyers General Manager Danny Briere alluded to in his media availability during the game, there’s some logistical work that the front office was going to need to do to sha...
The Washington Capitals made their toughest roster decisions on Sunday, cutting the final 19 players from their training camp roster. Among those cuts were four players who must clear NHL waivers before they can be assigned to the AHL’s Hershey Bears: goaltender Clay Stevenson, forwards Jonny Brodzinski and Spencer Smallman, and defenseman Louie Belpedio. If
The Flyers closed out their four-game slate of exhibition games with a rematch against the Capitals on home ice last night, looking to even the score after being delivered a tough loss by those same Capitals to open up the preseason earlier in the week. The Flyers had a good opportunity in front of them, bringing just about their closest approximation of their opening night lineup in terms of skaters to face off against the Capitals’ b-squad, but this matchup still ended up a far cry from what...

In this fourth and final preseason matchup, the Washington Capitals sent four skaters with NHL experience to wear the brunt of the full force of the untucked Philadelphia Flyers. Before we knew it, the Capitals hung five goals on Aleksei Kolosov despite being handily outplayed for big stretches of the game, and the regular season is suddenly upon us. The basics First period: No scoring Second period: 0:31- Jamie Drysdale (Travis Konecny, Tyson Foerster), 4:32- Andrew Cristall (S...

It wasn’t an out and out revolt admonishing the National Hockey League and their desire to implement rules already on the books. But in Saturday’s warmup before their final exhibition game against the visiting Washington Capitals, the Philadelphia Flyers let it be known that they have center Trevor Zegras’ back. And weren’t over the moon with the minor penalty called against him. Although we can’t provide a complete investigative piece on who was responsible for deciding to tuck their jer...
The Washington Capitals are ready to wrap up their 2026 preseason with one final game on the road against the Philadelphia Flyers at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

And just like that, we’ve made it to the end of the preseason! The Flyers have one more game on deck tonight as they look to get things back on track and get a little bit of revenge on the Capitals, after taking a tough loss to them to start out this run of exhibition games. It’s another less loaded lineup on deck for the Flyers, which certainly helps their chances, so we’ll see what they’re able to do, after putting a bit more wind in their sails with Thursday’s win in the back pocket. P...

The Washington Capitals made some more roster decisions ahead of their final preseason game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday evening. Veteran defenseman Justin Holl has been waived and cut from the team’s training camp roster. If he goes unclaimed during the NHL’s 24-hour waiver period, he can be assigned to AHL Hershey on Sunday.
LAST SEASON It was an odd 2025-26 season for the Washington Capitals, who had sky-high expectations coming off a 2024-25 campaign that saw them claim first place in the Metropolitan Division, ease through a first-round series win over the Montreal Canadiens and ultimately fall in five games in the second round to the Carolina Hurricanes. Their attempt to build upon that strong showing never really materialized last year. By New Year’s Eve, the Caps had seen a solid start fade into a slump as t...
