Flyers vs. Hurricanes: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

With the first little road trip of the season out of the way, the Flyers are returning home again tonight for perhaps their biggest matchup of this young season. The Flyers are set to face off against their rival Hurricanes, for the first time since Carolina swept them out of the second round of the playoffs last spring, and they’re looking to really get things back on track after a pretty uninspiring — if not downright disastrous — first two games of the season. This isn’t going to be an easy...

Roundtable: The biggest concern about the Flyers’ terrible start

The Philadelphia Flyers have had a miserable start to their season. A 7-0 loss in their season opener against the hated Penguins at home, followed by a 3-2 overtime loss to the Devils where the only reason they weren’t blown out once again was Joseph Woll in between the pipes. Now, they’re heading back to Philadelphia to face the reigning Stanley Cup champions, the Carolina Hurricanes. But before what should be an interesting game, we have to just take note of what our biggest concern is ...

The Carolina Hurricanes are visiting the Philadelphia Flyers tonight for the third game of the season for both teams. Game time is 7 P.M. Both teams are also looking for their first win of the season. The Flyers were blown out by the Pittsburgh Penguins in their home opener. They lost in overtime to the […]

Flyers overhaul lineup after disastrous start to the season

There is no sugar-coating the start to the Philadelphia Flyers season. It has been dreadful. Two games in which they acted more like a practice squad for the other team’s stars to practice their offense rather than try and prevent scoring chances, and there is not much hope of things changing anytime soon. Since, you know, they’re facing the Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night. Ahead of the game though, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet is looking for answers. At morni...

4 Flyers who could reach major career milestones this season

The season is two games in, and already has had more than enough drama. First there was Denver Barkey leaving the opening exhibition game against Washington, only to return to practice in a non-contact yellow jersey a few days later. He’s on injured reserve but might be closer to returning than anticipated. Then goaltender Dan Vladar left an exhibition game against Boston with just over six minutes to go in the first period with what looked like a shoulder issue. Initial indications suggested ...

Rick Tocchet has ‘no idea’ why the Flyers are off to a sloppy start

The Philadelphia Flyers managed to get a point in the second half of a back-to-back on Thursday night in New Jersey. They were lucky to have Joseph Woll in net, as the goalie helped the Flyers steal a point on the road. It was a better effort on Thursday than the night before, but the bar was on the floor after a historic beatdown in their home opener against the Penguins. After getting outshot 38-19 by the Penguins, the Flyers were once again primarily playing in their own zone against t...

Dylan Larkin’s trade rumors grow as many NHL teams reportedly talked with Red Wings

Many teams are interested in Dylan Larkin as the Detroit Red Wings explore trade options. The trade market for Dylan Larkin could be getting bigger as the Detroit Red Wings continue to deal with the fallout from the veteran center’s trade request. NHL insider David Pagnotta reported that several teams have shown interest in acquiring Larkin, including the San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings, Montreal Canadiens, Philadelphia Flyers and Boston Bruins. Pagnotta indicated that some teams hav...

‘He worked his butt off here’: Capitals happy for Hendrix Lapierre’s strong start with Penguins — ‘just not against us’

Hendrix Lapierre’s debut with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday could not have gone better. In a 7-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, Lapierre registered two points, including his first goal with his new team and a primary assist on an Evgeni Malkin power-play goal. His five-on-five analytics were sterling on the Penguins’ new-look third line.

Could Denver Barkey be the missing piece to the Flyers’ puzzling start?

The Flyers have played six periods (and one overtime session) over two games. They would probably like to forget the first three periods they played against Pittsburgh (as would anyone else remotely associated or interested in the club). The game Thursday night against New Jersey had a slightly different outcome . They earned a point thanks to a solid Philadelphia debut by Joseph Woll, who swallowed up shots like crazy, controlled rebounds perfectly, and kept the Flyers from coming away empty-...

Jack Hughes skates away from awkward interview with ESPN’s AJ Mleczko

New Jersey Devils star center Jack Hughes didn’t appreciate questions about his health and injuries last season, and he doesn’t appreciate jokes about it now. The Devils opened their 2026-27 NHL campaign against the Philadelphia Flyers at Prudential Center in Newark. In the first intermission, Hughes hung back for an interview with ESPN’s AJ Mleczko.…

Flyers feel ‘lucky’ to have Joseph Woll after he saved them from a nightmare

It feels weird to say after the Philadelphia Flyers just played back-to-back games to start the season where they looked like they had their feet lodged in cinderblocks and thrown into the Delaware, scrambling to try and swim to the surface as they keep on sinking towards the bottom, their lungs filling with water — but it could have been just so much worse. After suffering the incredibly embarrassing result of losing 7-0 in your season opener to your archrival, the Flyers were looking to...

Pens Points: Lizotte suffers injury as Kindel nears return

Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… Penguins center Blake Lizotte missed practice Thursday while being evaluated for a lower-body injury, just one day after returning from injured reserve in Pittsburgh’s 7-0 season-opening win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Center Ben Kindel, meanwhile, returned to practice in a full-contact jersey and participated in line […]

Friday Morning Fly By: Another heartbreaker

*In case you missed it, the Flyers opened up their regular season on Wednesday night with a loss to the Penguins which all of us and the coaching staff alike can agree was downright embarrassing. [ BSH ] *It was embarrassing! What more can you say! [ The Athletic ] *We have a lot of questions about how exactly that could have gone so sideways for the Flyers, but the Flyers themselves are still sort of looking around for answers. [ PHLY ] *If nothing else, this was a good reminde...

Devils Pull Out 3-2 OT Victory in Electric Home Opener

Last year, they tuck tail after the second Flyers goal and go home. But it’s a new year, new team, new energy. After reading Matt’s pre-game speech, I was ready to run through a brick wall and the Devils delivered as it seems only they can do. I think that may be Herb Brooks in […]

Takeaways: Flyers close out back-to-back with 3-2 overtime loss to Devils

The Flyers closed out their season opening back-to-back on the road against the Devils, and while they were hoping to find a productive response to a gutting loss to the Penguins to open the season, the Flyers couldn’t push their game enough to claw their way to a win. Kept in it well enough to hang around for overtime by some pretty spectacular goaltending from Joseph Woll, things broke again in the wrong way for the Flyers on the way to another disappointing loss. The Basics First ...
