In the Flyers’ first 13 games, the goaltending generally hasn’t been the crux of the team’s woes. The tandem of Dan Vladar and Sam Ersson (and now Aleksei Kolosov) have been holding Philadelphia in games for the most part. There have been a few clunkers but, generally, they have held up their end of the bargain.
Prior to Wednesday’s slate of games, Vladar finds himself sixth in the league in goals against average (2.33) but has fallen to 15th now in terms of save percentage (.912), since ...

Tuesday night saw the first matchup between the Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers this season, and it couldn’t have gone any worse for the home side in the opening minutes. Digging themselves a deep three-goal hole inside of the first 10 minutes, they had to fight their way back into the game during the second period, despite playing some of their roughest-looking hockey at even strength.
Thanks to the Habs’ young skill players, and some timely power play goals, they were able to...

Garrett Rank is officiating this game, so brace accordingly.
First period
Despite Montreal spending the opening two shifts in the offensive zone, the first shot of the game goes to the Flyers, and a tip in the high slot from Bobby Brink gets past Samuel Montembeault.
Montreal attempts to do something similar with a pass off Alex Newhook’s stick, but the puck goes off the post.
He did that in the last game as well, so we’ll see what his final word is this evening.

It wasn’t the type of performance from Samuel Montembeault on Saturday night that put an end to concerns about his play this season, but it was the first time in four starts that he allowed fewer than four goals, and it did come with a win, and those were at least signs of progress. Now, ...

Apparently, the Philadelphia Flyers are open for business. General manager Daniel Briere is no stranger to bold moves, and according to multiple reports, forward Owen Tippett could be in play. Tippett, 26, is signed through the 2031-32 season at $6.2 million AAV, however, his no-trade protection doesn't kick in until July. So far this season through 12 games, Tippett has scored five times and added one assist. Owen Tippett crumpled Tye Kartye 💥 pic.twitter.com/FmPpfxuHke — Spittin' Chicl...

The Flyers didn’t fare so well over their weekend back-to-back against the Leafs and the Flames, picking up a pair of pretty uninspiring losses (and looking, truly, perhaps the worst they have all season on Sunday). They’re in a bit of a spiral here, looking for answers as their process has broken down a bit, and they’re looking to stop the bleeding and get things back on track in short order, taking advantage of the opportunity for a reset that a trip up to Montreal can offer them.

It is the most obvious hole on the Philadelphia Flyers lineup and it’s something that general manager Danny Briere clearly wants to address, and now might be the perfect time to do so.
Scrolling down the lineup for the Flyers, their third defensive pairing on the blue line sticks out like the sorest of sore thumbs. Glowing red with the word “Yee-ouch!” animated over it, a rotating cast of characters like Noah Juulsen, Adam Ginning, Egor Zamula, and not until recently Emil Andrae, gives li...

The Philadelphia Flyers open up a quick two-game road trip up in Montreal on Tuesday night, and they’re doing so without Tyson Foerster. The Flyers placed the winger on injured reserve prior to Sunday night’s loss to the Calgary Flames.
Without Foerster, Rick Tocchet tried to keep the magic of the Noah Cates line together with Owen Tippett joining Bobby Brink on the wing, but that was short-lived as the lines were thrown into the blender for the third period.

The Philadelphia Flyers were riding high and off to a better-than-expected start to their 2025-26 season. They were winning hockey games, some key players were scoring timely goals, and everything seemed fine. Then a double dose of misfortunes hit Philadelphia: A weekend with two big losses that sunk them down to the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and winger Tyson Foerster going down with a fluke lower-body injury thanks to him blocking a shot.

The Philadelphia Flyers’ power play were comically inept in the previous three seasons before 2025-26. John Tortorella stood by Rocky Thompson, and Thompson stood by what was nothing short of a gong show with the man advantage. It was surprising officials didn’t call gross misconducts on Philadelphia as the power play was that ugly to watch. But with a new coach in Rick Tocchet, and a new acquisition in Trevor Zegras, the Flyers power play has been decent 12 games into the season. It still nee...

The Philadelphia Flyers made a pair of transactions that should leave fans completely neutral — one player that they will gladly see on the ice again, while also receiving news that it might be a little bit longer until we see one of the best players on this team.
On Monday afternoon, the team announced that they have recalled defenseman Emil Andrae up from the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms after a brief visit down in the minors due to some roster re-construction. Additionally, they have p...

Last night’s game against the Flames was for the Flyers, in many ways, a doozy. An uninspired effort from the skaters, which amounted to a meager 18 shots generated (and only nine between the first two periods) on the way to a 2-1 loss and resulted in some largely measured but still pretty pointed criticism from their head coach, the Flyers put together a game which was, it feels fair to say, probably their worst of the season. And on the other side of that, they had Aleksei Kolosov, up from t...

You can only try to come up with so many different ways to say the same thing, but maybe it’s the best to make it extremely simple: The Philadelphia Flyers had a very bad weekend and head coach Rick Tocchet is asking some questions of his roster.
After losing a disheartening game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, the very next day the Flyers hosted the NHL’s worst team in the Calgary Flames. And they applied almost zero offensive pressure in the 2-1 loss — a performance that is...

The last week was something of a roller coaster for the Philadelphia Flyers. It started off with a thrilling shootout win over the stupid and dumb Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, followed by a 4-1 victory over the Nashville Predators Thursday night to secure their third consecutive win.
Since then, though, the vibes have not been immaculate. The Flyers have dropped two straight games, including 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday night and a 2-1 loss to the Calgary Flames on Sund...

After Tyson Foerster blocked an Auston Matthews shot in Saturday night’s loss to the Maple Leafs, he hobbled down the tunnel, but returned back a few shifts later and played the remainder of the game, and it looked like the Flyers might have just averted a crisis.
Well, it appears Foerster might have felt the effects of the blocked shot more than initially thought. Prior to Sunday’s game against Calgary, the Flyers announced that Foerster would miss some time with a lower-body injury and ...

One of the reasons for that feeling might not be with the Flyers right now, but he’s making a loud enough noise down in the AHL that is starting to draw some attention.

The good news is that Tanev is feeling much better and was discharged from hospital on Sunday morning in Philadelphia. He is returning to Toronto over the weekend and will likely going under a few more tests before his timeline to return is determined. The play happened around the halfway mark of the third period, Tanev was on the penalty kill and collided with Flyers forw...
