The final week of the regular season is upon us, and with just five games remaining on the schedule, the Flyers are looking to keep the ball rolling and hold on to their recently grabbed playoff spot. It won’t be easy, but they’ve got some momentum behind them, coming off a massive overtime win over the Bruins on Sunday, and they’ll be hoping that they can keep it rolling into a win over their rivals in the Devils.

On the scoresheet, it hasn’t been a great year for Flyers winger Garnet Hathaway. After earning 21 points last season, the veteran fourth-liner has one goal to go with two assists. But that’s on the ice. Off the ice, he’s been the same considerate and generous person he’s been known as. And it’s for that reason that the Flyers Tuesday made Hathaway their nominee for this year’s King Clancy Memorial Trophy. The honor is given annually “to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on ...
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...
The Philadelphia Flyers have needed to work on the power play for a very long time, and head coach Rick Tocchet knows that. So, he’s trying out some temporary solutions.
On Sunday against Boston, the Flyers had a 5-on-3 for nearly two minutes in overtime. It was a very low-risk option, but Philadelphia head coach Rick Tocchet went with five forwards for that power play. The collection of Christian Dvorak, Porter Martone, Travis Konecny, Trevor Zegras, and Tyson Foerster took the ice to go...
A whole lot has been made of the goaltending for the Philadelphia Flyers. Somehow, this team has found a solution to their ongoing problem in Dan Vladar, and even if it’s a short-term one that we have no idea how it is going to look year-to-year, for the time being he’s the solidifier in between the pipes.
Vladar’s arrival has made us all look and see what this roster can do with someone capable of saving more than 90 percent of the shots that they face and it’s frankly been absurdly too ...
Last Devils Game Well folks, it finally happened. 77 games into the season, Jacob Markstrom is finally warmed up, as many on here said he would do eventually. Playing again after sitting the previous 2 games, and with only 5 games left in the season, our big game trophy secured his first shutout of the […]
*It’s (rightfully) all Porter, all the time in the Flyers Cinematic Universe, mostly because it’s clear that this kid was exactly what the Flyers needed to turn this season around. [ BSH ]
*And boy are people noticing! The Flyers are fun again and we aren’t the only ones realizing it. [ BSH ]
*It’s not very often that a kid leaves college, joins his team, and immediately makes the kind of impact we’ve seen from Porter Martone over these first few games. If you ask him what he thinks ...
The Philadelphia Flyers need a centerman with some skill more than anything in the world, and one could be available for completely free this summer. Thankfully, it has been reported that the Flyers are interested.
Vitali Pinchuk is getting a whole lot of attention. The 24-year-old is wrapping up an incredibly impressive campaign in the KHL with Dinamo Minsk, who just last week, swept Dynamo Moskow in the first round are currently waiting for their second round opponent. The 6-foot-3, 203...
Flyers winger Porter Martone is averaging five shots a game, has a game-winning overtime goal to his credit, and two assists. The Flyers are 2-2-0 since he’s entered the lineup, and find themselves (for the time being) sitting in third place in the Metropolitan Division. The NCAA Frozen Four — where Martone was generally considered to be headed along with his Michigan State Spartan teammates — is still three days away in Las Vegas. Martone shouldn’t be here, yet here he is. However, as big of ...
The Philadelphia Flyers sit in playoff position in April. We wrote them off , and they didn’t write back. There’s still time for things to go sideways, but if we’re to believe our eyes, the rest of the teams in the hunt are out of gas. Philadelphia has gotten a huge boost from adding two young, healthy top-six forwards when other teams are firing their coaches. Turning back the clock, we remember that the goal of the season was to get the young players in “meaningful games” late in the season....
Porter Martone’s arrival in Philadelphia has made for little short of a revelation.
Since signing his entry-level deal and joining the Flyers just a week ago, he’s stepped up to make an immediate and significant impact — Martone has jumped right in and flourished within the increased pace of play, and brought a confidence in playmaking that’s given the team’s offense an undeniable boost when they’ve needed it most. He’s been buzzing since his arrival, but he put just about as big of an ex...
As the Philadelphia Flyers make an incredible push to get to the non-pandemic playoffs for the first time since 2018, an eye is on what potential prospects are doing around the hockey world. And one prospect that was rumored to potentially be on his way over to North America, might not want to stay in Sweden instead.
Jack Berglund has impressed mightily this season. While some consternation about the initial pick was warranted, as none of the major public scouting services placed him anyw...
Whatever narratives you can make about this Flyers season thus far, you would have to admit that they have caught fire at the right time.
Their dramatic 2-1 win against the Bruins on April 5th allowed them to leapfrog the Islanders for the final Metropolitan division playoff spot, as the regular season winds to a close and the playoff race starts to thin out. And as they have started to really fine-tune Rick Tocchet style hockey, they may have gotten the biggest boost of all in the ...
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 […]
It was a storybook ending Sunday afternoon. After a tight-checking, low-scoring battle, Porter Martone scored his first National Hockey League goal in overtime, leading the Flyers to a 2-1 win and moving into the third seed of the Metropolitan Division.
The basics
First period: 4:19- Christian Dvorak (Porter Martone, Rasmus Ristolainen) Second period: No scoring Third period: 0:35- Pavel Zacha (Casey Mittelstadt, David Pastrnak) (PPG) Overtime: 2:31- Porter Martone (Christian Dvorak,...
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 ...
