It was the best of losses, it was the worst of losses. It was the age of power-play goals, it was the age of empty-net gaffes. It was an early lead, it was a late collapse. It was a game of hope, it was a game of despair.
The Philadelphia Flyers went through the wringer on Wednesday night in Salt Lake City. After ending their skid with a low-event win in Vegas on Monday night, it looked like they might be able to string two wins together after a hot start. However, after Bobby Brink’s pow...

The Philadelphia Flyers crumbled under the slightest breeze of pressure Wednesday night as they succumbed to a late-game comeback by the Utah Mammoth and lost in overtime. Head coach Rick Tocchet wanted to see something happen in the game, though. Specifically, one of his players to take a punch in the mouth.
Fingers have been pointed at almost every single member of the organization, looking for someone to blame for the humiliating loss. Whether it is Garnet Hathaway on a breakaway for a...

With the Philadelphia Flyers in a precarious spot as January comes to a close, it’s time to take a step back and consider exactly where they are in the rebuild and when they truly think that this team will be competitive enough to be taken seriously.
Since taking over the Flyers in 2023, general manager Danny Briere and president of hockey operations Keith Jones have leaned heavily on one familiar phrase: “the players will decide how we move ahead in the future.”
Over that time...

After a huge win over the Golden Knights on Monday to break their losing streak, the Flyers continued on to the next stop on their road trip, heading to Utah to face off against the Mammoth and hopefully keep their positive momentum rolling. And while this was something that worked initially for them, lapses and lack of attention to detail quickly allowed this game to get away from them, and instead the Flyers were stuck with a heartbreaker of a loss in overtime to cap this one off.

It’s no secret that the Flyers have taken their fair share of penalties. Heading into Wednesday’s game against host Utah, Philadelphia sits sixth in the league with 520 minutes in penalties. It’s a strain on the team’s penalty kill, and a strain that has caused more than a few leaks in that particular special teams sector. Sure some penalties are unavoidable, sometimes even good, but the Flyers are taking a bevy of just dumb, brain-cramping infractions. And during Wednesday’s post-practice pre...

The Philadelphia Flyers continue their road trip and so far, it’s been pretty successful. We would assume that three straight games against the Vegas Golden Knights, the Utah Mammoth, and Colorado Avalanche would be three straight losses, but the Flyers have started on the right foot with a 2-1 win in Nevada on Monday.
Now, how will they respond as they face the Mammoth tonight?

Maybe the most controversial thing the Philadelphia Flyers have done under general manager Danny Briere has been their decision at the draft table the last two years. Mostly, the choice to opt for center Jett Luchanko over defenseman Zeev Buium, who is carving out a nice start to his NHL career after dominating college hockey.
That’s boring though. Yawn — oh, the Flyers made their choice based on position and possibly based on Buium sharing an agent with the prospect who told them to f–k ...

The Flyers picked up a huge win on the road last night in Vegas, taking down the best in the Pacific Golden Knights to snap their losing streak at six games and jolt themselves back to life. And while there were certainly a number of elements which were working well for the Flyers on the way to that win — the penalty kill righted the ship in a big way, and Travis Konecny’s effort was quite singular — none was more meaningful than the bounce back performance goaltender Sam Ersson was able to st...

When former Flyers general manager Chuck Fletcher signed Nic Deslauriers to a four-year, $7 million deal ($1.75 million AAV) on July 13, 2022, many didn’t see the logic behind the deal. Deslauriers had a 10-goal season for Montreal in 2017-18 in just 58 games. But he wasn’t a playmaker, nor a sniper. In short, he was an enforcer. A fighter. Somebody who was the Flyers’ policeman on the ice, and tried to deter liberties being taken on star players or smaller players by the opposition. Deslaurie...

After a truly brutal showing against a struggling Rangers team on home ice on Saturday afternoon, and seeing their losing streak stretch on to six games, the Flyers are still looking around for answers and hoping that a trip out West will see their luck change. They have quite a steep hill to climb here — not only have they dug themselves quite a deep hole with their own play, but their first stop is Vegas to face off against the Golden Knights, who sit at the top of the standings in the Pacif...

The Philadelphia Flyers really could have cooked something up that so many fans have been begging to see all season long but instead kept more of the status quo as they are spiraling down the standings with loss after loss.
It is extremely unfortunate that center Rodrigo Abols suffered a devastating injury on Saturday that has killed his chances to represent Latvia at the Olympics next month. It is something you just never want to see and a story you never want to hear about — a player’s ...

What a week, huh? The Philadelphia Flyers played four games and lost all of them in regulation, extending the losing streak to six games. Now they’re headed on a road trip against some of the toughest teams in the Western Conference, and it’s easy to envision the losing streak hitting nine by week’s end. If we could award stars to you, dear reader, we would, because that was a miserable week of hockey to witness.
But! Before we get to all that, we have to reflect on last week’s games and ...

The Philadelphia Flyers are by far not the strongest team at the center position, but they are trying to work with what they got. Part of that is, according to head coach Rick Tocchet, managing captain Sean Couturier’s workload so that he can be as effective as possible.
Heading into this season, the Flyers added Christian Dvorak to their center depth, but they still are sorely lacking quality high-end players down the middle. Noah Cates has done an admirable job trying to resolve the iss...

When the Philadelphia Flyers acquired Trevor Zegras from the Anaheim Ducks in June of 2025, they weren’t sure what version of Zegras would arrive. After tumultuous contract negotiations with Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek, the cover co-star of EA Sports’ NHL 2023 was badly in need of a change of scenery. In his first season in Flyers orange, Zegras has found his game, scoring at a near point-per-game pace, and rekindled his love for hockey. Soon, he’ll need a new deal with the orange and bl...

The Philadelphia Flyers are officially in a rut. It’s no longer a slide, a skid, or simply being stuck in the mud. They are firmly in that mud and face an uphill battle to get out of it.
While there are plenty of areas that need improvement, goaltending is in the spotlight. Dan Vladar is out for at least the next few games, and even when he does return, the Flyers aren’t going to want to run the risk of wearing him down. Sam Ersson built some confidence in relief on Saturday, allowing 3 g...

The Flyers have been struck again by the injury bug. With Rodrigo Abols taking an injury in yesterday afternoon’s game against the Rangers and the prognosis immediately not looking so good , the time came again for the Flyers to dip into the well of options from the AHL squad to bring into the mix to help fill that role centering the fourth line.
For this, veteran centerman Lane Pederson was given the nod. Pederson has spent the better part of this season centering the Phantoms’ top line,...
