The Connor Hellebuyck trade is both good and bad news for the Flyers

Any time a big trade happens in the NHL, we, the sentient blog Broad Street Hockey, immediately ask one thing: how does this affect the Philadelphia Flyers? That’s especially the case when that trade occurs in the Metropolitan Division The New Jersey Devils ended up as the winners of the Connor Hellebuyck sweepstakes, landing the netminder from the Winnipeg Jets on Friday. In return, the Devils sent out Dawson Mercer, Alexander Command, Nick Bjugstad, Nico Daws, a second-round pick, and a...

Returning veterans could force a difficult decision on Flyers’ blue line

The Philadelphia Flyers may be receiving some reinforcements ahead of Saturday afternoon’s battle against the Anaheim Ducks. The injury list has gotten long in Philadelphia, with forwards Travis Konecny and Owen Tippett on the shelf, and defensemen Rasmus Ristolainen and Cam York missing from the blue line. However, a few players may be on the mend. Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet told the media on Friday afternoon that Ristolainen would be a possibility to return on Saturday, while h...

The Flyers may have finally fixed their broken power play

Heading into Thursday’s slate of games, the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves needing to leapfrog over six teams to land the second wildcard spot. They still have 72 games left, and there’s plenty of time to right the ship. The fly in the ointment is that a handful of those clubs have three games in hand on the Flyers, with Columbus having four games in hand and just three points back. No other National Hockey League team has played more games. And at 3-6-3, they still have a lot of work to ...

Rick Tocchet may have found 2 lineup combinations to build around

The Philadelphia Flyers are making their way out of the 0-6-3 hole they dug themselves into, thanks to a few consistent combinations in recent games. For the first few weeks of the season, Rick Tocchet had his lines fully in the blender . The only constant was a struggling fourth line, with the more skilled forwards having a hard time finding chemistry. Injuries certainly didn’t help that, and still haven’t, as the Flyers have 13 different forward lines with at least 10 minutes toget...

Travis Konecny Would Balance Out the Wild's Offense

With the Philadelphia Flyers reportedly considering a Travis Konecny trade, the Minnesota Wild could pursue a player who could make their offense deeper, nastier, and much harder to defend. This isn’t about chasing a recognizable name. It’s about adding a proven difference-maker whose game fits what...

Flyers waive Garrett Wilson, hinting at other roster move

The Philadelphia Flyers have placed forward Garrett Wilson on waivers and it could mean someone is coming back from injury. There was nothing else included in the team’s announcement. Just that Wilson is heading to the waiver wire and we have to assume it’s to reassign him down to the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Transaction: We have placed forward Garrett Wilson on waivers. — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) October 22, 2026 Wilson, 35, has been hanging around purely...

Flyers’ youth movement is about to force some difficult roster decisions

After starting the season with one of the worst stretches of hockey ever seen by humankind, the Philadelphia Flyers have started to turn it on.  Despite trudging through a nine-game losing streak to begin the year that seemed like it would never end, the Flyers have somehow managed to right the ship, with their recent 3-1 win over the electric Buffalo Sabres extending their win streak to three games, despite missing veteran names like Cam York, Rasmus Ristolainen, Tyson Foerster, Tra...

The Flyers Are… Better Than You Think?

What a difference a week makes. Ten days ago, I wrote how the Flyers were worse than we all think. They had just lost their seventh game in a row (and would lose two more after the post was published) and looked abysmal on the ice. There was nothing to be excited about watching them […] The post The Flyers Are… Better Than You Think? appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Flyers Will Now Win 9 Games in a Row, After Losing 9 in a Row

Ho hum, just another Flyers win. Three in a row. They dispatched the Sabres 3-1 on Wednesday night with a couple of greasy goals from Cole Knuble, playing in just his second NHL game: How can you not love it?

Thursday Morning Fly By: It’s a streak!

*The Philadelphia Flyers have won three games in a row. It’s an achievement that felt impossible just a week ago as they were wrapping up their nine-game losing streak to open up their season. Thanks to a bunch of players getting injured and then their replacements being actually more impactful and everyone chipping in, the Flyers have strung together these wins. The latest happened to be driven by Cole Knuble scoring his first two goals of his career and Dan Vladar playing like prime Hasek. A...

Sabres lose to Flyers in Jason Zucker’s return; Owen Power loses cool after phantom high-stick

BUFFALO – Forget that the Philadelphia Flyers entered the night on a two-game win streak and advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season.

Sabres notes: Josh Norris scoring after slow start, showcasing grit

BUFFALO – Following a freak collision with Maple Leafs defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson in overtime last Thursday, Sabres center Josh Norris said he did not want to leave the game. But Norris, 27, had no choice. So as his teammates finished off their come-from-behind 5-4 victory in Toronto, he was in concussion protocol. “It was just a small thing,” Norris told the Times Herald prior to Wednesday’s 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers in KeyBank Center. ...
