Latest news and updates about the Flyers
On the game schedule, the Islanders are idle for several days, but the events around them are anything but. On Sunday, the long-looming games in hand came to roost as the Senators beat the Hurricanes and the Flyers beat the Bruins, both climbing above the Isles to push them out of a playoff spot — […]
*It’s been a busy weekend around here, folks! The Flyers kicked it off with a big win on the road over the Islanders on Friday. In case you missed it, you can relive it with us here. [ BSH ] *It was a big win, as we said, but it was a particularly emphatic showing that Matvei Michkov delivered on a more individual level. [ BSH ] *The Flyers kicked off the weekend on a high note, and they closed it out on one too! They came away with a hard-fought win over the Bruins in overtime last ...
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, ...
We’ve got some good news and some bad news to end your weekend! The bad news: the Bruins lost again! The good(ish) news: at least they got a point this time! Porter Martone scored his first NHL goal 2:31 into overtime to give the Flyers a 2-1 win over the Bruins, propelling the home team […]

By virtue of the Detroit Red Wings’ loss to the Minnesota Wild this afternoon, the Montreal Canadiens have clinched a playoff spot, set to head to the post-season for the second consecutive season. With the loss, the Red Wings can now achieve a maximum of 98 points, two fewer than the 100 the Canadiens improved to last night in New Jersey. They were the only team currently outside the playoff picture that had a mathematical possibility to pass Montreal, because the Philadelphia Flyers, wh...
Happy Easter, folks! The Bruins are right back at it several states away, facing the Flyers in Philadelphia less than 24 hours after losing in Florida. The Flyers will be better rested, as they last played on Long Island on Friday. Today’s basics: The Flyers have gone on a nice run of late to remain […]
It became official today: the Buffalo Sabres will break their streak of fourteen seasons without appearing the playoffs thanks to the Pittsburgh Penguins defeating the Florida Panthers, officially eliminating the two-time defending champions from the playoffs. The last time that Buffalo was in the playoffs was 2011 where the Lindy Ruff-led Sabres qualified as the seventh-seeded team and fell in the opening round in seven games to the Philadelphia Flyers. They won't see the Flyers this year,...
It has not been a great sophomore season for Matvei Michkov — it’s undeniable at this point. But as the Philadelphia Flyers continue to push hard to stay and finish on top of the playoff race, the 21-year-old full of boundless potential that has had some growing pains came up big in the most important game of the Flyers’ season. On Friday night, with anyone with any inkling of what is going on in the Eastern Conference race, had all their attention drawn to the New York Islanders hosting ...
One down. With a fanbase collectively pleading for signs of a pulse, the Red Wings mostly delivered in Thursday’s victory over the Flyers. It wasn’t a perfect effort, but they started on time, they played physical, they put the game away late. We’ll take it, gladly. The reward? Even higher stakes. Detroit is now tied for the second Wild Card position, with Ottawa holding the tiebreaker by virtue of more regulation wins. The Senators’ win on Thursday was about the only blemish in...
No, we’re not gonna make it… The New York Islanders made the Eastern Conference playoff race that much more interesting by losing their third straight regulation game to the Philadelphia Flyers, allowing the visitors to pull into a four-way tie of teams with 88 points.

The Philadelphia Flyers are making a playoff push that everyone is on board with — well, at this point they are. They’ve been too good to wish for losses to improve the draft pick by a significant amount, so they might as well try to win and get a possibly brief playoff appearance that would give one of the youngest teams in the NHL a beneficial experience. But, with the 4-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night they are now in a place where Saturday night while hosting the New Yo...
The end result was a loss, and one that might come back to haunt them in the next 11 days. But despite losing to Detroit 4-2 Thursday night at home, the Flyers can take solace in the fact that their two recent additions to the roster have shown something the rest of the roster have had ample problems with all year: getting shots on goal. After the game Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet said he was extremely impressed with the amount of activity the Flyers had offensively, but was still irrit...
If the regular season ended this morning, the New York Islanders would qualify for the playoffs by virtue of having more points, thanks to having played one more game, than Detroit, Columbus, or Philadelphia. Tonight that will not change but it can get either better or more fragile as they host the Flyers, who desperately […]
*The Flyers had a pretty major matchup on deck last night, as the Red Wings came to town and the Flyers had a chance to rebound and put a dent in their climb up the standings, but in the face of that big moment, they fell flat. And as they say, there’s a lot to unpack from this one: We’ve got our own in-house recap. [ BSH ] Some instant reactions [ PHLY ] And then some more takeaways. [ NBCSP ] And even more takeaways! [ Inquirer ] *But it’s not all bad news around...
Tyson Foerster and Porter Martone basically put the Flyers on their back Thursday night. But despite Foerster scoring in his first game in four months, and Martone getting the primary assist on another, Philadelphia lost to Detroit 4-2 on Thursday night. The loss dealt a huge blow to the Flyers playoff hopes. The basics First period: 18:49- Alex DeBrincat (Patrick Kane, Moritz Seider) (PPG) Second period: 0:31- Tyson Foerster (Owen Tippett, Trevor Zegras), 18:29- Lucas Raymond (J.T C...
The Philadelphia Flyers are playing the biggest game of their season, again. Really, every game from here on out is as crucial as the last one right up until they can possibly clinch the playoffs. They’re facing a Detroit Red Wings team that they are directly in contention with for those final few available spots in the postseason, but thankfully they have a trick up their sleeve: Tyson Foerster is back.

It’s been 49 long games since Philadelphia Flyers winger Tyson Foerster last played, after injuring himself in the middle of a game back in December. But with news that Foerster returns to the lineup tonight against the visiting Detroit Red Wings, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet said it’s another big boost to the lineup. Tocchet went on to describe just how much the team has been missing a player like Foerster and what he brings to the table. “There’s a lot of things,” Tocchet said af...
He was supposed to be out for the rest of the regular season.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are making headlines despite having a typically horrendous season, all because they have fired their general manager. Brad Treliving is out of a job after ruining that team up north for a whole lot of years (thank you for the first-round draft pick, Brad) and now the highly coveted position of running the team at the center of the hockey universe is up for grabs. And a member of the Philadelphia Flyers front office reportedly wants it. Flyers executive Dean Lo...
Tyson Foerster was supposed to miss the rest of the season. The Philadelphia Flyers were fully expecting to be without one of their best wingers for multiple months and resigned with the fact that they will just try it all again next season, with him ready to go again at training camp this fall, after he suffered a brutal injury during a game all the way back in December. Well, they’re completely wrong and Foerster is now making a shockingly early return to the Flyers lineup in the middle...
