With one week to go in the regular season, the Flyers sit in sole possession of third place in the Metropolitan Division. There’s still work to be done, but the Flyers have put themselves in a good spot with 5 games to go.
Tuesday night’s game against the Devils is the start of a five games in eight days stretch to finish the season, and the beginning of a three-game road trip to Newark, Detroit, and Winnipeg. The Flyers will then return home next Monday and Tuesday for a tough back...

Brendan Shanahan has been biding his time since being let go by the Toronto Maple Leafs from his job as team president one year ago. He joined the NHL’s hockey operations department in an advisory capacity and has served as a Hockey Canada consultant. But he's still anxious to get back to leading a team's hockey operations, and according to Arthur Staple of The Athletic, the New Jersey Devils are the "best fit" if they look to bring in a new boss man. "The guy that's out ther...
Arseny Gritsyuk has played his last game for the New Jersey Devils this season. It’s a shame, but that’s just how it is after the club announced that he will be undergoing season-ending surgery after suffering an injury against the Dallas Stars on March 24. It’s an obvious disappointment for Gritsyuk, who proved in his […]
The New Jersey Devils are going to look much different heading into next season, and one player expect to see traded this offseason is veteran defenceman Dougie Hamilton. There's been a ton of drama surrounding Hamilton this season, and he was a healthy scratch mid-way through the season, and his agent lost his mind. There was a big drama-filled back and forth in the media, and at the end of the day, GM Tom Fitzgerald couldn't find a deal he liked ahead of the trade deadline, and Hamilton stay...

Well, that was unexpected. One of, if not the most thorough game this team has played all season, making it an 11 game win streak in Montreal. Sometimes things can’t really be explained and you just have a team’s number. Out of the gate the Montreal fans let the boos rain down on Olympic golden […]
On March 6, the Flyers found themselves six points out of a wildcard spot, and eight points back of the Islanders with two games in hand. Detroit were 10 points ahead of them. With just 67 points, Philadelphia had to overtake Washington, Columbus, and Ottawa just to get to the second wildcard position. They were a meddling 4-4-2 over their previous 10 games. And had Florida, Toronto, and New Jersey just two to three points back. At the time, many hoped the Flyers would end up sinking further, ...
First period
The crowd chants “Cau-field!” as Cole steps on the ice for his first shift. When this crowd last saw him, he had 44 goals.
The Devils are checking the Canadiens’ sticks very tightly to start this game, not allowing anyone space to shoot the puck. It’s needed strategy with Jacob Markstrom in net. Montreal will need to work a little harder to test the netminder tonight.

First Period The New Jersey Devils and Montreal Canadiens traded chances over the first five or so minutes, but both Jake Allen and Jakub Dobes made some good stops. Cole Caufield almost had the Devils beat twice, but he lost the puck after Kovacevic took a swipe at him on the first shift of the […]
First period
Cole Caufield accepts a bank-pass and tries to go across the top of Jake Allen’s crease, but former teammate Johnny Kovacevic makes the stick-check just before he can fire the puck.
Ivan Demidov gets past a couple of players at the defensive blue line to go in on a two-on-one, but can’t see a lane to Alex Newhook to get a pass through. His initial shot gets stopped, but he collects the rebound, curls back to the slot, and gets another shot that deflects out of play.

New Jersey Devils defenseman Simon Nemec was one of the most notable trade candidates leading up to the 2026 NHL trade deadline. The Devils ended up holding onto him, but he will certainly be a player to keep an eye on this summer.

Ottawa Senators The Senators undoubtedly need to improve the right side of their blueline this offseason. Because of this, it would not ...
The fit between Jonathan Marchessault and the Nashville Predators has simply not been there. Because of this, the 35-year-old forward has been a trade candidate for quite some time now. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could try to land Marchessault this offseason.

Look at the Devils delivering maximum damage to a pair of Metropolitan Division rivals this week, although in very different ways. First, on Tuesday, they rolled over and played dead for a hapless Rangers team that got two points that won’t help them in their race to the bottom for Gavin McKenna. Forty-eight hours later […]
