Takeaways: Flyers make franchise history, lose their seventh in a row to Carolina 4-1

The Philadelphia Flyers set a franchise low Sunday night, losing their seventh straight game to start the season. Carolina defeated the Flyers 4-1, extending the misery for at least another two days. The basics First period: No scoring Second period: 10:16 – Andrei Svechnikov (Sean Walker), 13:45 – Shayne Gostisbehere (Sebastian Aho, William Carrier), 15:26 – Christian Dvorak (Nick Seeler, Denver Barkey), 16:54 – Sebastian Aho (William Carrier, Andrei Svechnikov) Third period: 15:09 ...

Flyers vs. Hurricanes: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

It’s a quick turnaround here, and after quite a disappointing loss on the road in Boston yesterday afternoon (their sixth of the season, for those keeping track at home), the Flyers are right back at it again tonight, looking to get things moving in the right direction as the reigning Stanley Cup champs in the Hurricanes come to town. The task in front of them isn’t getting any easier, but they have a bit of reinforcement on the way, and what’s more, something has to break for them eventually,...

The 3 Flyers who could possibly turn this season around

For the Philadelphia Flyers, things currently look as bleak as the eight-goalie season under Dave Hakstol. Or the end of the John Tortorella era. Or Peter Laviolette’s coda. The 1-6-1 start before Ken Hitchcock was canned also wasn’t pleasant. However, with Flyers general manager Danny Briere not quite sharpening the knives in terms of the coaching staff or head coach Rick Tocchet, it’s on the group of players on the roster now (or perhaps in the pipeline) to navigate through these extremely h...

Hurricanes @ Flyers: Preview and Game Thread

The Carolina Hurricanes bring their 4-1-1 record, which puts them in first place in the Metropolitan Division, to Philadelphia, (0-4-2) where the Flyers have yet to win a game this season. They are currently last in the division. It is funny how quickly things can change in the NHL. Last season, coach Rick Tocchet was […]

Report: Flyers recall Oliver Bonk from Phantoms amid historic losing skid

The Philadelphia Flyers may not be winning hockey games, but they’re at least giving one of their top young prospects an opportunity to get his feet wet in the NHL. The Flyers recalled defenseman Oliver Bonk from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms Sunday afternoon, according to multiple reports. Bonk, who the Flyers selected with the No. 22 overall pick of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, is expected to make his season debut against the Carolina Hurricanes Sunday evening at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Bo...

Danny Briere’s next move is going to tell us everything about the Flyers

As owners of a 0-4-2 record to start their season, the Philadelphia Flyers are feeling the pressure to do something. This has been a disaster. There is no way around it or a way to try and sugarcoat what has happened so far. It’s not even their record but it’s the fact that aside from Thursday’s 2-1 loss against the Ottawa Senators, this Flyers team has been playing hockey like all four of their limbs are numb and they just woke up from an unexpected mid-day nap, dried drool on their mouth and...

Recap: Bruins spread scoring around, beat Flyers 5-1

The Bruins got points from 11 different skaters on Saturday afternoon, extending Philly’s season-opening misery with a 5-1 win at TD Garden. Fraser Minten led the way for the B’s, with the youngster recording a goal and two assists. Casey Mittelstadt, Pavel Zacha, Marat Khusnutdinov, and Mason Lohrei recorded the other Bruin goals. Jeremy Swayman […]

Tocchet: Flyers ‘got to stick together’ to get out of the muck

The Philadelphia Flyers played another hockey game — if you could call it that — on Saturday afternoon. After an encouraging effort on Thursday night in Ottawa, the Orange and Black reverted back to their listless efforts in a 5-1 loss to the Bruins in a Boston matinee. The Flyers got some bad news before the game with injuries keeping Travis Konecny and Cam York out of the lineup this weekend , while Rasmus Ristolainen was placed on injured reserve. But those injuries are no excuse for h...

Takeaways: Flyers losing skid extends to 6 in rout to Bruins

Albeit in a losing effort, the Philadelphia Flyers looked like a competent NHL team for the first time this season in their Thursday tilt against the Ottawa Senators. Against the Boston Bruins Saturday afternoon, though, they reverted back to looking disjointed and downright unwatchable. Without some of their key contributors, the Flyers suffered a 5-1 loss at TD Garden, extending their season-opening losing streak to six games. This marks just the second time in franchise history th...
