The Philadelphia Flyers are currently experiencing a whole lot of injuries and after Saturday night’s 7-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, they need these players back as soon as possible. Travis Konecny missed that terrible experience of a hockey game, but he appeared to be quickly getting back into action as he (as well as recently injured Bobby Brink) returned to practice on Sunday morning.
Well, about that.
Just minutes after Konecny re-joined the group and was taking part in the...
In the first game of a two game set against Tampa, the Flyers allowed the most goals in a game this season so far, losing in blowout fashion 7-2.
The Basics
First period: 1:49 – Nikita Kucherov (Brayden Point), 4:15 – Garnet Hathaway (Noah Juulsen, Rodrigo Abols), 6:05 – Kucherov (Point, Charle-Edouard D’Astous) Second period: 13:37 – Nick Paul (D’Astous, Anthony Cirelli) Third period: 2:03 – Gage Goncalves (Kucherov, Darren Raddysh), 3:37 – Brandon Hagel (Jake Guentzel, Cirelli), ...
All signs pointed to this being a close game, and it was. Till it wasn’t. Goals by Gage Goncalves and Brandon Hagel just over a minute apart early in the third period turned a close game into a big win for the Lightning as they put seven pucks past Sam Ersson on just 23 shots to start their road trip with a 7-2 win. Goncalves finished with two goals while Nikita Kucherov kept his hot streak going with two goals and two assists.
Brayden Point (3 assists), Anthony Cirelli (2 assists), and C...
The Flyers have made it to the weekend, and they’re set to kick off the first of two games against the Lighting on home ice tonight. Their lineup is looking a little thin, with some key absences at the top of it, but they’ll be looking to rally back and find a way to respond after a tough loss in overtime to the Leafs, last time out.

When Jamie Drysdale went down following a blindside cheap shot from regular member of the prestigious “goal per season” club, Anaheim Ducks’ Ross Johnston, it was immediately met with anger from both Flyers fans in the building, and the players on the bench.
But in the aftermath, all that really mattered was the status of Drysdale, who after a tough start to life in Philadelphia, has looked like a much more effective player in his third season as a Flyer. He was on pace to break his care...
The Philadelphia Flyers are hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning for a very weird sequence of back-to-back contests but they’re both going to be at home. And it is just perfect timing for the Flyers to lose a whole lot of their talent from the lineup after Bobby Brink, Travis Konecny, and Jamie Drysdale have suffered injuries this week.
With these injuries, the Flyers’ depth will be tested and of course they are facing a Lightning team that has won their last eight games and have the Eastern C...

The Philadelphia Flyers officially placed Jamie Drysdale on injured reserve Friday evening while announcing they’ve called up defenseman Adam Ginning from Lehigh Valley.
Injury updates: Defenseman Jamie Drysdale has been placed on injured reserve (upper body) retroactive to Jan. 6. We have recalled defenseman Adam Ginning from the @LVPhantoms (AHL). Additionally, forwards Bobby Brink and Travis Konecny are day-to-day with upper-body injuries. — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) Janua...
The injuries are suddenly piling up for the Philadelphia Flyers.
They caught a break with Travis Sanheim and Denver Barkey both not missing any time after going down in Saturday’s win in Edmonton, but they haven’t been as lucky since returning home.
Both Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale were injured on borderline hits in the Flyers’ 5-2 win over the Ducks. Anaheim was only penalized for one of those hits, and n one of the multiple questionable collisions received any supplemental disci...
The Philadelphia Flyers are beginning to turn the corner in their rebuild. They’re done being sellers at the deadline, instead extending guys like Christian Dvorak, who they might have traded in years past. Danny Briere and Keith Jones have done a great job of trimming down the fat and filling the prospect cupboards in recent years.
Matvei Michkov is already here. Denver Barkey hasn’t looked out of place in the NHL during his first professional season. Jett Luchanko made the roster out of...
The Flyers welcomed fan favorite Scott Laughton back to Philadelphia on Thursday night, but it was the veteran forward who got the last laugh. The Toronto Maple Leafs came away with a 2-1 win in overtime after Laughton tied the game with a shorthanded goal late in the third period.
Laughton’s return was a much-anticipated one for both the player and his former team. The Flyers honored Laughton with a video during the first TV timeout of Thursday night’s game.
There will always be Bro...
For the last few years now, the Flyers have threaded the needle. They’ve been putting a middling to (now) decently good roster on the ice, but emphasized the goal of developing players and planning for the future above all else. They never would tank, but they also weren’t in the business of competing or really even getting close to the playoffs.
In that process, they’ve never really added to the team, and only ever sold. They’ve acted the way that teams in a rebuild act, even if th...
Philadelphia Flyers winger Travis Konecny has been perfect this year: he hasn’t missed a game yet. He’s had a very strong first half, with 13 goals and 24 assists for 37 points. Yet if you extrapolate those numbers over the rest of the year, he might end up a hair behind the 76 points he earned in 2024-25. Right now that projection is 74. But, whether it’s recency bias or just a new season, Konecny has looked like the winger who dazzled most of the first half of 2024-25. And far less than the ...
*The Flyers decided to try and win a game by scoring only one single goal and turns out that’s a bad strategy. Power play stinks. Sitting on leads stinks. Game stunk! Recap !
*Travis Konecny left the game with a reported upper body injury. Hard to say what actually happened there, but it’ll stink if it’s serious! [ BSH ]

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 2-1 overtime win over the Philadelphia Flyers, which improved the Maple Leafs’ record to 21-15-7.

Philadelphia Flyers forward Travis Konecny’s game was cut short on Thursday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. His absence became apparent when, after finishing the second period and heading down the tunnel at intermission with his teammates, he was missing from the bench to begin the third period, and it was later confirmed that he would not return for the remainder of the game.

Coming into this season, no one really expected the Philadelphia Flyers to be a top 10 team in the NHL by the time the calendar flipped to 2026. But now, they find themselves with the seventh-highest points percentage in the league and are staying on top of the pile of teams in the Eastern Conference vying for a playoff spot.
After all, they were a team that was truly just starting their rebuild less than three years ago, after they fired general manager Chuck Fletcher and brought in thei...
The Philadelphia Flyers are so back. After demolishing the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night in the most entertaining game of the season so far, the feeling surrounding this team feels impenetrable. The dark cloud looming over this current rebuild that the front office is pursuing, has once again been waved away to briefly see some immaculate sunshine.
Cutter Gauthier was traded away to the Ducks because he didn’t want to play for the Flyers after they drafted him fifth overall. It’s a story...

The Philadelphia Flyers took care of business at home on Tuesday night against the Anaheim Ducks, skating their way to a 5-2 victory over their cross-country rivals. They did all of that without Matvei Michkov, who missed the game due to a foot issue.
Michkov took a friendly fire pass off his skate late in the third period of Saturday afternoon’s win in Edmonton. It was still bothering him on Tuesday with some swelling, but his X-rays came back negative.
Tocchet says Michkov had an x...
The Philadelphia Flyers have reached the half-way point of their season and have posted a 22-12-7 record, good for third in the Metropolitan Division. Despite the team's success this season, GM Daniel Briere is still thinking long term, which includes ongoing trade conversations involving defenceman Rasmus Ristolainen. According to Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco the Flyers have Ristolainen available on the trade market. The towering right-handed blueliner hasn't lived up to expectation...
