The Flyers were back in action tonight on home ice, facing off against the Islanders and looking to build on the momentum from a largely successful road trip. The Flyers certainly came into this one with some momentum, but failed to keep that rolling, and found themselves struggling to get their offense going on the way to a 4-0 shutout at the hands of a tough divisional opponent.

There were some lineup swaps tonight with Cal Ritchie (lower body injury) and Simon Holmstrom (illness) out. Max Tsyplakov and Marc Gatcomb drew into the lineup, giving both of them an opportunity to make an impression after a tough game for the Islanders against Buffalo. The Islanders bounced back tonight in Philadelphia, with JG Pageau […]

The Philadelphia Flyers are back home and just in time for snow to cover a whole portion of the continent, creating some international chaos and misery. Well, that is also about having to face the New York Islanders — a matchup that we have come to know and despise as two mediocre teams bonking each other on the head.

It appears that some reinforcements are finally on the way for the Flyers. After missing just under two weeks and six games for them with an upper-body injury, all signs are pointing to defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen returning to the lineup tonight for the Flyers’ matchup with the visiting Islanders. The change isn’t wholly locked in just yet, as Rick Tocchet told media after the pregame skate that the decision will be made to slide him back into the lineup in place of Noah Juulsen, so long as ...

There were more than a few positives which came from the three-game road trip last week. The power play showed signs of life. Denver Barkey had a great game against Colorado — so did Matvei Michkov. Aside from a horrid miscue, they would’ve walked away with all six possible points. But perhaps nothing was more revealing in Vegas, Utah, and Colorado than the play of Sam Ersson.
In the two games which bookended the trek, Ersson had a save percentage over .900. It marked the first time he ha...

The Philadelphia Flyers are starting to turn the corner in their rebuild. The veterans are still contributing enough, role players are reaching their primes, and several young players are taking steps forward.
A lot of important decisions have already been made by Danny Briere and Keith Jones, but the most crucial moves are yet to come. The Flyers still don’t have the top-end talent at center that they need to contend, nor do they have the depth to make up for that.
Briere & Co. have...

The Islanders will try to rediscover their game, or at least their look, with a visit to Philadelphia tonight.

With the Olympic break right around the corner – and the trade deadline not far behind – the Philadelphia Flyers could be looking to make a few moves before the puck drops in Milano Cortina.

Jamie Drysdale isn’t just playing well this season — he’s beginning to establish himself as a core piece of the Flyers’ rebuild, and head coach Rick Tocchet’s comments after their win over the Avalanche quietly reinforced that.
Jamie Drysdale has been a key piece in this team’s defensive core, completely turning around his game since he was acquired from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Cutter Gauthier. The former first-round draft pick was thrust into the NHL as a young 18-year-old kid ...

Philadelphia fourth-line winger Garnet Hathaway should be a little bit lighter in the pocketbook, showing his gratitude to every one of his teammates for what took place Friday night in Denver. Just two days earlier, Hathaway’s epic gaffe resulted in what should’ve been an insurance goal in a 5-3 victory over Utah into a painful, backbreaking 5-4 loss to the Mammoth in overtime. Two wins on a three-game road trip would’ve been considered good. But earning just three points in the first two con...

We’re back again for a rare bit of Friday hockey for the Flyers, as they close out their road trip with a meeting with the high flying Colorado Avalanche. This trip has been a bit of a mixed bag for them, and the Avalanche will certainly not be an easy matchup for them, but the Flyers have a chance here to show some resilience and respond well after a pretty crushing overtime loss in Utah.

The Philadelphia Flyers close out their three-game road trip out west tonight in Colorado against an Avalanche team that is the best in the league — and it’s not particularly close. Nathan MacKinnon & Co. lead the league with 191 goals scored and 114 goals allowed for a staggering +77 goal differential. Mind you, the next best goal differential is the Tampa Bay Lightning at +49, and then the Carolina Hurricanes and Dallas Stars each at +27.
So it’s safe to say that the Flyers will face a ...

The Philadelphia Flyers traded the longest tenured captain in franchise history, Claude Giroux, at the 2022 NHL trade deadline. In return, they received a first-round pick (eventually traded to draft Jack Nesbitt) as well as a third-round pick (Denver Barkey). Owen Tippett was the roster player sent to Philadelphia, having some of the biggest shoes any player could ever have to fill as a Flyer, and perhaps not an ideal developmental scenario given the turmoil in the front office in the followi...
