*What a weekend it’s been! When we last spoke, the Flyers were coming off a big win over the Blues, wherein they put together a much improved start to the game, all things considered. [ BSH ] *Friday also brought us the news that the Flyers might just be looking to upgrade their center situation. [ BSH ] *Friday, even more importantly, saw the Flyers paying tribute to the late great Bernie Parent. [ Inquirer ] *That tribute would continue into Saturday’s game, which was in other...
Coming off of a big win over the Blues on Thursday, a game which got the Flyers going again after a four-day layoff, they were back in action last night with a much more challenging task ahead of them — taking down a much tougher (at least as far as place in the standings is concerned) divisional opponent as the Devils came to town. This was another game which could have gone sideways quickly on the Flyers, as they again gave up an early goal, but instead of getting down, they managed not just...
Matvei Michkov was still supposed to be playing in the KHL this season. At least, that was the expectation for him when the Flyers drafted him in the first round (seventh overall) in the 2023 NHL Draft. There was speculation he could possibly get across the pond a year earlier than expected if the KHL team he was playing for let him go and released him prior to his contract ending. But the Flyers brass were there front and center when Michkov arrived in the U.S. He was here to start his career...
With just two games on the schedule, it looked as if this might be a bit of a quiet week for the Flyers. But boy was that not the case. Dan Vladar bounced back in a big way after a tough outing in Dallas, they made history with three quick goals, and they may have found a new defensive pairing. With an overtime win against St. Louis and a regulation win — yes, a regulation win — against New Jersey, they finished the week with a perfect 2-0 record. With that, let’s take a look at the standouts....
Imagine, if you will, that you are a New Jersey Devils fan that sat down to watch tonight’s game against the rival Philadelphia Flyers. Through the first 20 minutes or so of real time, you witnessed things going pretty well. After a sluggish start for both sides, you saw the Devils cash in on an […]
The Flyers scored three goals in 26 seconds, scored a season-high six goals (all at even-strength), and registered their fifth win in regulation with a convincing 6-3 victory over visiting New Jersey on Saturday night. The basics First period: 7:37 – Timo Meier (Jesper Bratt, Nico Hischier) (PPG), 9:00 – Noah Cates (Unassisted), 12:06 – Matvei Michkov (Sean Couturier), 12:15 – Tyson Foerster (Noah Cates, Travis Konecny), 12:32 – Tyson Foerster (Noah Cates, Nick Seeler) Second period:...
The Flyers made history against New Jersey tonight, unleashing a flurry of three goals in 26 seconds to break a franchise record, and turn what was a tied game into a lopsided contest. Midway through the first period, Sean Couturier won a puck battle along the wall and delivered a pass to Matvei Michkov that sprung the Russian phenom on a breakaway from the blue line. That then allowed Michkov to finish coolly through the five-hole of Jake Allen, and start the oncoming barrage with 7:54 ...

When the Flyers take on New Jersey Saturday night, they will be playing their twentieth game of the season. The quarter pole is often a decent sample size of where a team is at or, more importantly, where it isn’t. Philadelphia still isn’t looking for its first win of the year, so that’s a good thing. Some might argue facetiously they’re still seeking their first five-on-five goal but they’ve done that too. Not a lot, but they’ve reached that achievement. The Flyers still haven’t been shutout ...
The Philadelphia Flyers have held pretty steady in their defensive pairs this season. Cam York and Travis Sanheim are holding things down on the top pair, with Nick Seeler and Jamie Drysdale primarily playing together as the second pair. That’s left Noah Juulsen, Emil Andrae, Egor Zamula, and Adam Ginning to rotate in on the third pair. Each of those top two pairs has played over 220 minutes together at 5-on-5, per MoneyPuck, and it appeared as if the new third pair was going to stic...
For the first time in four days, since the close of their back-to-back last weekend on the road, the Flyers were back in action last night, looking to pull off a sweep of the season series with the Blues and quickly begin to gain back some of the ground that they lost in the standings while they were sitting with their long layoff. It was going to be a bit of an uphill battle — four days, even with practice time mixed in, is a lot of days to be off collectively — but the Flyers responded prett...
*Oh wow, the Flyers went to overtime against the Blues last night. That’s wild. Who could have predicted? Anyway who cares, they won! Recap ! *Last night’s game was Hockey Fights Cancer night at the XBox and the Flyers organization made it a really special night for several fans and one much-loved member of the Flyers family. [ Inquirer ] *As was hinted at by the lines at practice earlier this week, Rick Tocchet did a little line mixing last night. And if we’re going to be changing t...
You’ll never believe it, but Thursday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena, the Philadelphia Flyers had yet another game go to overtime. They’ve struggled in overtime as of late, but thanks to a clutch play from their No. 1 defenseman, the Flyers pulled off a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues in dramatic fashion. The Basics First period: 5:31 — Justin Faulk (Oskar Sundqvist, Nathan Walker), 12:08 — Faulk (Jake Neighbours, Jordan Kyrou) Second period: 17:57 — Rodrigo Abols (Owen Tippett...
Folks, we are finally back in action. We last saw the Flyers what feels like ages ago, but was actually just on Saturday, when they closed out their back-to-back on the road with a loss to the Stars. It was a tough one, especially coming on the heels of a pretty good win the night before over the Blues (those same Blues who are in town tonight and will be looking to find a bit of revenge and avoid being swept in the season series). It’s been a long layoff for the Flyers, but the hope is that t...
It’s not that often that fans of the Philadelphia Flyers care so much about the comings and goings of the Ontario Hockey League, unless they reside in the province of Ontario, but this year is different with top prospect Jett Luchanko being such a hot topic as of late. Ever since the Flyers sent the 19-year-old center back to the OHL’s Guelph Storm after not being able to carve out a full-time role other than being a fourth-line pivot, there have been countless rumors of a potential trade...
Flyers wingers Travis Konency and Matvei Michkov should, on paper, be a strong force on the ice together. Both have scoring ability. Both seem capable of keeping plays going in the offensive zone, whether working for the puck in the corners or weaving their way methodically into open space. And both had over 20 goals last season for Philadelphia, even if Konecny’s second half of the year was a drastic drop in production. With Sean Couturier down the middle between them, the thought was the lin...

The Flyers managed to steal a victory from the jaws of defeat Friday night against the host Blues, never leading in the game until Trevor Zegras put one home in the shootout for a rollercoaster 6-5 shootout win.

After a tough loss back on home ice on Wednesday, the Flyers are hitting the road for a quick two-game road trip. Tonight, they’ll be facing off against a struggling Blues squad for the first game of their back-to-back (and what’s to be their first against the Blues in the span of a week) and they’ll be looking to get the ball rolling early, gaining back some ground and, what’s more, making a strong impression on their annual Fathers’ Trip. Puck drop: 8:00 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: NB...
Another week, another full docket of exciting happenings to dig into for Flyers prospects near and far. Let’s get right into it. The News of the Week Not much doing in the news department this week, but the one big piece of news is that Ethan Samson has been medically cleared and assigned to the Phantoms, as he’s ready to get back in action for the first time since taking an injury during training camp. It’s not certain yet whether he’ll be good to get in immediately this weekend, bu...
The Flyers this season were expected to be generating more goals, but that hasn't been the case. Some things have improved, but some other metrics are problematic..
Tyson Foerster returned to the lineup for Wednesday night’s game against the Edmonton Oilers, and Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet put him back together with his usual linemates of Noah Cates and Bobby Brink. However, Tocchet decided to mix up the other lines for that one rather than try to build on the chemistry that some of the other forwards have built. That didn’t turn out so well as the Flyers went long stretches without much offensive pressure against Edmonton, and Tocche...
