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...

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.

[ 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 ...

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

The Philadelphia Flyers are playing hockey again (threatening). Just 24 hours after getting embarrassed so badly that you almost have to laugh about it, they are traveling up to New Jersey to face the Devils in a season-opening back-to-back. It is the perfect chance to wipe away that disgusting result against the Penguins and start to maybe get some hope instilled in us again. If they look good tonight, we’ll be willing to never think about 7-0 again. Puck drop:  7:00 p.m. How to wat...

The Flyers proved their biggest fear was justified on opening night

Complacency (noun): a calm sense of well-being and security: the quality or state of being satisfied. That was one of the buzzwords used time and time again by the Philadelphia Flyers in the offseason and training camp. From the top down, general manager Danny Briere and head coach Rick Tocchet were worried about the players showing some complacency after last season — or rather weren’t worried, given how hungry this team is. But if there was one word to describe the team’s effort in...

The Flyers just got a brutal reminder that last season means nothing now

The Philadelphia Flyers started off with a bang last night. Sadly, the only fireworks were during the player introductions before the opening faceoff. After looking marginally okay in the opening shifts, and a heavy hit from Rasmus Ristolainen on Sidney Crosby got the crowd into the proceedings, things started to break down a bit. Then a lot. By the end of the evening, the Penguins destroyed the Flyers in every conceivable eye test and analytic . Flyers captain Sean Couturier said the club nee...
