The 3 best season openers in Flyers history

The Flyers are about to embark on another season, this one 84 games long but sure to be as interesting as last year was. Over their franchise history, Philadelphia has lost some opening games, won some opening games, and tied a few (yes, in ancient folklore, games ended in ties, with no three-point games in existence). The team didn’t win their first season-opener until October 10, 1970, a 2-1 win over Minnesota (the North Stars, not the Wild). Bobby Clarke scored the game-winner late in the o...

Player Preview: Matvei Michkov can have the bounceback season we’re dreaming of

As we wrap up our season preview series, it’s time to talk about the most polarizing, most talented, and most important player on the Flyers roster, Matvei Michkov. The 21-year old Russian enters his third full NHL season with something to prove after taking a bit of a step back in year two after his emergent rookie campaign put his name on the lips of every NHL commentator, both around Philadelphia, and the league at large.  What did we see from Michkov Michkov last season?  Mi...

Flyers Linked To Dylan Larkin Trade With Red Wings

The Dylan Larkin sweepstakes continue as the 2026-27 NHL season kicks off, and if it was up to Larkin, he would have been traded months ago. While talks continue, a new team has become strongly linked - the Philadelphia Flyers. According to Daily Faceoff's Anthony DiMarco , the Flyers tried to land Kirill Marchenko from the Columbus Blue Jackets, who has since been traded to Toronto for Matthew Knies, and while they didn't want to pony up, they've turned their attention to trying to squeeze La...

Flyers reportedly tried to land Kirill Marchenko before Leafs trade

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Columbus Blue Jackets pulled off a sizeable blockbuster deal right before the first puck dropped for the 2026-27 NHL season, swapping star wingers Kirill Marchenko and Matthew Knies for each other. And while we never heard even a whisper of their involvement, the Philadelphia Flyers were one of the teams ringing up the Blue Jackets asking what it would take to get the 26-year-old Russian winger off their hands. According to Daily Faceoff’s Anthony Di Marco , th...

Flyers shake up forward lines at final practice before season opener

The Philadelphia Flyers open the regular season on Wednesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Due to the shortened training camp and only four preseason games, the Flyers don’t have their lineup set in stone as of yet. Add in an injury to Denver Barkey, as well as banged-up Nikita Grebenkin, and there are a few more questions. PHLY’s Charlie O’Connor shared the Flyers’ lines and pairs at Tuesday’s practice. Let’s take a look at them one by one. Flyers’ forward lines in flu...

Flyperblog: Trevor Zegras is putting his Flyers housemates to work

(NOTE: Nothing in this post is serious or real except for the fact that a bunch of dudes are living with Trevor Zegras) Philadelphia Flyers forward Trevor Zegras has been a uniting force in the team’s locker room since they acquired him last year. His friendship with defensemen Cam York and Jamie Drysdale has been well-documented. On top of that, Zegras has been letting some of the Flyers stay with him in his home. In a recent Instagram video , Zegras confirmed that forwards Denver Barkey...

NHL experts make their predictions for the Flyers’ 2026-27 season

The Philadelphia Flyers surprised a lot of people last year with their playoff spot and a first-round victory. This year, some are expecting them to match those expectations, but a few others are expecting them to fall backwards. Or off a cliff in some instances. But they are predictions or projections, and the games are not won on paper. Here then are a roundup of various outlets and where they are predicting the Flyers end up at the conclusion of 2026-27. And with some outlooks on where Port...

5 bold predictions for Flyers’ 2026-27 season

The leaves are changing colors. The morning air has shifted from balmy to slightly chilly. That coffee shop down the street has officially begun serving pumpkin spice lattes. That can all mean one thing and one thing only — hockey season is so absolutely back. With the Philadelphia Flyers just one day away from playing in their season opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins, it’s time to get sick in the head and start making some irrational (or perhaps quite rational!) season predicti...

Predicting every Flyers player’s goal total this season

It’s an inexact science. A lot of it depends on luck, being in the right place, fortunate bounces, and hot streaks. And, of course, injuries. So, while nobody knows how each Flyer will perform this coming 2026-27, it doesn’t stop BroadStreetHockey from taking guesses as to how many tallies the likes of everyone from Simon Benoit to Porter Martone will get over the 84-game schedule. Here then, in order from the net out, are the predictions for each Flyer skater. Goaltenders (yes, we probab...
