Friday Morning Fly By: Still winless

*The Flyers made some pretty major changes heading into last night’s game against the Senators, and they were… they were really something. [ BSH ] *And, if we’re being honest, we’re getting a little weary of all of this lineup juggling. [ BSH ] *Notably, too, it saw Trevor Zegras moved over to the wing, and we’d been kind of wondering how long it would be before they pulled the trigger on that move. [ BSH ] *Anyway, all of those changes did bring a bit more spark for the Flyers ...

David Jiricek showed more of what he could be for the Flyers

As we are quickly learning during the first five games of the 2026-27 Philadelphia Flyers, it was never going to be perfect. Whether we want to attribute that little notion to the team now owning a 0-3-2 record to start their season or some players not playing up to the same level we just saw them play last year, it’s all the same. But more specifically, we knew it was going to be an interesting journey with David Jiricek. The 22-year-old defender just played a game against the Senators i...

Takeaways: Flyers look better, but not good enough in tough 2-1 loss to Senators

The Flyers upped their compete level, scored a power play goal, and still ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard Thursday night, losing a tough one 2-1 to the Ottawa Senators. Despite their improved efforts, the winless streak is now five games. The Basics First period: 10:14- Nick Cousins (Tyler Kleven, Warren Foegle) Second period: 7:46- Matvei Michkov (Trevor Zegras, Travis Konecny) (PPG) Third period: 13:01- Carter Yakemchuk (Claude Giroux, Shane Pinto) (PPG) SOG: 29 (PHI) ...

Arber Xhekaj becoming trade target of Metropolitan team

Some teams around the NHL have not gotten off to the starts they'd hoped for, and are already looking to make changes. We saw the Philadelphia Flyers sign unrestricted free agent Michael Bunting earlier this week to address their forward group.  But as we've also mentioned, the blueline is something the Flyers are also looking to bolster.  David Pagnotta reported on the DFO Insider that Philly has had an eye on Montreal Canadiens enforcer Arber Xhekaj.  Arber Xhekaj is a guy the...

Flyers @ Senators: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

The Flyers are hitting the next stop on their road trip tonight, arriving in Ottawa for their first matchup of the season against some familiar faces on this Senators squad. They’ve made some more changes to their lineup ahead of this game, and they’ll be hoping that this finally, finally does the trick for them, as they still desperately push for their first win of the season. Puck drop:  7:00 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: NBCSP 📻: 93.3 WMMR Pregame reading The lineup juggling...

Michael Bunting eager to make Flyers debut against Senators

Michael Bunting wasn’t expecting it would take this long to be back with a National Hockey League club this season. But tonight he suits up for the Philadelphia Flyers after signing a one-year contract with the team earlier this week . It might not be the solution a lot of Flyer fans are looking for as Philadelphia is still seeking its first victory. “Yeah it’s been a long summer to say the least, something I don’t ever want to go through again,” Bunting said Thursday after the game day s...

Moving Trevor Zegras back to wing is an unfortunate necessity of the Flyers’ slow start

Nothing is working right now for the Philadelphia Flyers. Rick Tocchet has the line blender out in full force, for better or worse (mostly worse), and that continued with the biggest shakeup of the season at Thursday’s morning skate. We dug into the Flyers’ lineup changes a bit earlier, and one of the most notable changes is moving Trevor Zegras back to wing. Zegras was effective late last season down the middle, even showing that he has the potential to be the Flyers’ first-line cen...

Rick Tocchet hits the panic button with the latest Flyers lineup changes

Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet has been searching the wilderness for some consistent lines that he could put out and lead to somewhat success. But with the team now with a 0-2-2 record to start the season, it appears that he is already hitting the panic button and going for the nuclear option when it comes to the lineup the Flyers will put on the ice. Ahead of Thursday night’s matchup against the Senators in Ottawa, Tocchet unveiled a lineup that provided honest-to-God shock....

Flyers’ constant line juggling is making a bad start even worse

The Philadelphia Flyers have had countless issues at the start of the season, and some of them started in training camp. Sure, if things continue to get worse, we’ll dig deeper into the potential foundational issues with this rebuild, but let’s not completely overreact to a four-game sample size in the span of six days against some pretty good teams. But for now, I’m going to look at a few things that have been a bit bothersome since the start of training camp. We started by looking ...

Thursday Night Fly By: Maybe tonight

*The Philadelphia Flyers are still looking for their first win of the season (we’re in misery). But one player who showed up during Monday night’s loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning was Porter Martone. The young rookie showed the rest of his team how they can flip a switch. He may have earned zero points (a goal was taken away from him) but he was certainly playing with an edge that is missing throughout the lineup. [NBCSP] *One player who could be adding a bit of that, and mainly becau...

3 trade targets proposed as Flyers focus on fixing blueline

The Philadelphia Flyers are off to a dreadful start to the season, being outscored 17-5 in four winless games. And while they added a bit of help on the offensive end with a free agent signing this week, there's still work to be done on the blueline. Several reports have them looking to add on the backline, preferably with size. Of course, if you're talking about size, 6'6" young star RFA Simon Edvisson would be "a great fit" in Philly, says insider Frank Seravalli. And they have been mentione...

Why Michael Bunting could be exactly what the Flyers need

The Philadelphia Flyers are in a world of hurt right now so they reached out into the shining light of peeling a player off the pile of remaining free agents, shrugged, and signed him with a hope that maybe he can do some cool stuff. Michael Bunting has joined this Flyers team after a summer of not being able to find a home as an unrestricted free agent. Now, he has an opportunity to show that teams should have been banging his door down for an opportunity to sign him, all on a team that ...
