Flyers activate Samuel Ersson from IR, return Jacob Gaucher to Phantoms

It’s been a relatively quiet week for the Flyers up to this point, but just as it was beginning to feel a little bit too quiet around here, the Flyers dropped a little bit of news on us, down to the wire before they rolling for tonight’s game in Nashville. Ahead of tonight’s game against the Predators, the Flyers announced that they’ve activated goaltender Samuel Ersson from IR, and loaned forward Jacob Gaucher back to Lehigh Valley to make room for that. Transaction: We've activated goal...

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

The Philadelphia Flyers are coming off one of the most exciting games of their young season after winning and losing and then winning again against the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre. And because of that powerful performance, head coach Rick Tocchet is going with the same lineup — an untouched roster to hopefully get another two points over the Nashville Predators. The last time these two teams met in this season was just a week ago and the Flyers earned a 4-1 win thanks to two goa...

Denver Barkey proves doubters wrong in breakout game for Phantoms

There is no other prospect in the Philadelphia Flyers system that needed to show that they belonged than Denver Barkey. The winger with all the motor in the world was able to play a prominent role on a dominant London Knights team in the OHL, but that was junior hockey. Barkey needed to make himself known within the first few weeks of turning pro and lacing up for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. There were questions coming into this year. We have seen it so often that a player with Barkey’s 5...

Flyers Rumors: Zegras Could Get Extended Earlier Than Expected

The Philadelphia Flyers have to be extremely pleased with the trade that brought Trevor Zegras to their team. It has paid off in a huge way so far, even if it is just 13 games into the season. He is leading the Flyers by a wide margin with 15 points already, and has four goals to go with that. Zegras has fit in from the first game and the Flyers are 7-5-1 on the season. To put it into perspective how much this change has helped Zegras, he had six goals and 15 points in 31 games two seasons ago...

3 Potential Trade Destinations for Flyers' Owen Tippett

The Philadelphia Flyers are a team to watch for an early season trade, as forward Owen Tippett's name has hit the trade rumor mill. Several reports have surfaced stating they could see Tippett being moved by the Flyers, as this is the final year of his contract in which he doesn't hold any trade protection. Tippett is off to a so-so start, scoring five goals and one assist in his first 13 games. He's owed $6.2 million through the 2032 season, and considering the cap is going way up the next fe...

Trevor Zegras feeling confident, right at home in impressive start with Flyers

Trevor Zegras once again played a big part in a Philadelphia Flyers victory on Tuesday night. He had two power-play assists in the first period to put the team up 3-0, and came through in the shootout to help secure the victory. Zegras is now up to 15 points (4 goals, 11 assists) in his first 13 games with the Flyers, proving to be a great offseason addition for Danny Briere & Co. The 24-year-old forward needed a change of scenery, and he’s making the most of it in Philadelphia. ...

Flyers’ Vladar, Ersson showing mental toughness in some tough starts

In the Flyers’ first 13 games, the goaltending generally hasn’t been the crux of the team’s woes. The tandem of Dan Vladar and Sam Ersson (and now Aleksei Kolosov) have been holding Philadelphia in games for the most part. There have been a few clunkers but, generally, they have held up their end of the bargain. Prior to Wednesday’s slate of games, Vladar finds himself sixth in the league in goals against average (2.33) but has fallen to 15th now in terms of save percentage (.912), since ...

Bottom Six Minutes: Habs’ skill salvages a point after a rough start

Tuesday night saw the first matchup between the Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers this season, and it couldn’t have gone any worse for the home side in the opening minutes. Digging themselves a deep three-goal hole inside of the first 10 minutes, they had to fight their way back into the game during the second period, despite playing some of their roughest-looking hockey at even strength. Thanks to the Habs’ young skill players, and some timely power play goals, they were able to...

Takeaways: Flyers soar, fall to earth, then get off the ground in 5-4 shootout victory over Canadiens

It was a great first period and a terrible second, but the Flyers rallied showed some character and defeated the host Montreal Canadiens 5-4 in a shootout Tuesday night.

Canadiens vs. Flyers Top Six Minutes: Montreal absconds with a point

Garrett Rank is officiating this game, so brace accordingly. First period Despite Montreal spending the opening two shifts in the offensive zone, the first shot of the game goes to the Flyers, and a tip in the high slot from Bobby Brink gets past Samuel Montembeault. Montreal attempts to do something similar with a pass off Alex Newhook’s stick, but the puck goes off the post. He did that in the last game as well, so we’ll see what his final word is this evening.

Flyers Trade Rumors: Philadelphia Flyers listening to trade offers

Apparently, the Philadelphia Flyers are open for business. General manager Daniel Briere is no stranger to bold moves, and according to multiple reports, forward Owen Tippett could be in play. Tippett, 26, is signed through the 2031-32 season at $6.2 million AAV, however, his no-trade protection doesn't kick in until July. So far this season through 12 games, Tippett has scored five times and added one assist. Owen Tippett crumpled Tye Kartye 💥 pic.twitter.com/FmPpfxuHke — Spittin' Chicl...

Flyers @ Canadiens: Coverage, how to watch, lineups, and game thread

The Flyers didn’t fare so well over their weekend back-to-back against the Leafs and the Flames, picking up a pair of pretty uninspiring losses (and looking, truly, perhaps the worst they have all season on Sunday). They’re in a bit of a spiral here, looking for answers as their process has broken down a bit, and they’re looking to stop the bleeding and get things back on track in short order, taking advantage of the opportunity for a reset that a trip up to Montreal can offer them. Puck ...

Could Flyers pursue trade with Oilers for a defenseman?

It is the most obvious hole on the Philadelphia Flyers lineup and it’s something that general manager Danny Briere clearly wants to address, and now might be the perfect time to do so. Scrolling down the lineup for the Flyers, their third defensive pairing on the blue line sticks out like the sorest of sore thumbs. Glowing red with the word “Yee-ouch!” animated over it, a rotating cast of characters like Noah Juulsen, Adam Ginning, Egor Zamula, and not until recently Emil Andrae, gives li...

Rick Tocchet scrambles Flyers lineup with Tyson Foerster out vs. Canadiens

The Philadelphia Flyers open up a quick two-game road trip up in Montreal on Tuesday night, and they’re doing so without Tyson Foerster. The Flyers placed the winger on injured reserve prior to Sunday night’s loss to the Calgary Flames. Without Foerster, Rick Tocchet tried to keep the magic of the Noah Cates line together with Owen Tippett joining Bobby Brink on the wing, but that was short-lived as the lines were thrown into the blender for the third period.

3 Flyers that need to step up with Tyson Foerster out

The Philadelphia Flyers were riding high and off to a better-than-expected start to their 2025-26 season. They were winning hockey games, some key players were scoring timely goals, and everything seemed fine. Then a double dose of misfortunes hit Philadelphia: A weekend with two big losses that sunk them down to the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and winger Tyson Foerster going down with a fluke lower-body injury thanks to him blocking a shot. Foerster was placed on injured reserve ba...

Which unit is the Flyers’ first power play unit? The answer is becoming quite clear.

The Philadelphia Flyers’ power play were comically inept in the previous three seasons before 2025-26. John Tortorella stood by Rocky Thompson, and Thompson stood by what was nothing short of a gong show with the man advantage. It was surprising officials didn’t call gross misconducts on Philadelphia as the power play was that ugly to watch. But with a new coach in Rick Tocchet, and a new acquisition in Trevor Zegras, the Flyers power play has been decent 12 games into the season. It still nee...

Flyers recall Emil Andrae from AHL, put Tyson Forester on IR

The Philadelphia Flyers made a pair of transactions that should leave fans completely neutral — one player that they will gladly see on the ice again, while also receiving news that it might be a little bit longer until we see one of the best players on this team. On Monday afternoon, the team announced that they have recalled defenseman Emil Andrae up from the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms after a brief visit down in the minors due to some roster re-construction. Additionally, they have p...

Aleksei Kolosov shows as work in progress in Flyers’ loss to Flames

Last night’s game against the Flames was for the Flyers, in many ways, a doozy. An uninspired effort from the skaters, which amounted to a meager 18 shots generated (and only nine between the first two periods) on the way to a 2-1 loss and resulted in some largely measured but still pretty pointed criticism from their head coach, the Flyers put together a game which was, it feels fair to say, probably their worst of the season. And on the other side of that, they had Aleksei Kolosov, up from t...

Rick Tocchet criticizes Flyers players after uninspiring loss

You can only try to come up with so many different ways to say the same thing, but maybe it’s the best to make it extremely simple: The Philadelphia Flyers had a very bad weekend and head coach Rick Tocchet is asking some questions of his roster. After losing a disheartening game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, the very next day the Flyers hosted the NHL’s worst team in the Calgary Flames. And they applied almost zero offensive pressure in the 2-1 loss — a performance that is...
