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...

*Leafs tonight, friends. The Leafs who have not performed as expected up til this point in the season. Before tonight’s game, have a look at Charlie’s thoughts on that last game. Which was very fun. [ PHLY ]
*About that last game… evidently the league saw no issue with the blatantly dirty hits thrown by Ducks players Tuesday night. Cool. [ BSH ]
*Related, if Jamie Drysdale and Bobby Brink have to miss any time, these are the six players we think would be best to replace them. [ BSH ]...

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...

Fresh off the Christian Dvorak five-year extension, it sure sounds like there’s going to be more business in the coming weeks for the Philadelphia Flyers.
This time, it’s his linemate Trevor Zegras who’s at the center of those discussions. Zegras, in his press availability prior to Tuesday’s win over the Anaheim Ducks, seemed like a guy who was quite intent on re-signing in Philadelphia.
“It’s cool to see somebody (Dvorak’s) age around 29 decide that this is the place tha...

The Philadelphia Flyers are halfway through the 2025-26 season. They have 22 wins through the first 41 games. Last season it took them 48 games to get their twenty-second win. So far, they’ve probably exceeded the expectations of even the most hopeful fan, despite having a terrible power play, giving up the first goal far more often than not, and relying on a goaltender who played all of 30 games last year. Having said all that, there have been some surprises over the first half. And there’s b...

Matvei Michkov missed Tuesday’s game against Anaheim with an injured foot. But on Wednesday he took the optional skate with fellow Flyers winger Denver Barkey. And while the duo got some work and reps in, Michkov took it upon himself to teach Barkey how to execute a “Michigan.”
The three-minute video clip, shot from just behind one of the nets, sees Barkey and Michkov taking a few shots each into the empty net. But about 15 seconds into the clip, Michkov attempts a “Michigan,” roofing the...

The Philadelphia Flyers took down the Anaheim Ducks inside a raucous arena in South Philadelphia on Tuesday night. Cutter Gauthier opened the scoring, but Trevor Zegras and the Flyers got the last laugh in a 5-2 win.
Unfortunately, the Flyers didn’t come away from the game unscathed, with both Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale leaving due to injury after a pair of questionable — at best — hits.
The hit by Jansen Harkins on Brink may have been clean, but the shorter forward got hit up hi...

Despite the ultimate outcome, last night was a tough one for the Flyers. Coming away with a big win over a budding rival is a big positive, but with it came the loss of both Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale to injury. Now, there’s no word just yet on the severity of these injuries or on whether they’ll mean that either of them will miss significant time. All we can say at the moment is that the initial impressions were not great, particularly with Drysdale, and it feels like an apt time to check...

After Tuesday night’s 5-2 win over the Ducks, the Flyers sit in third place in the Metropolitan Division with 51 points in 41 games thus far. With a 22-12-7 record, the Flyers are on a 102-point pace — a pretty remarkable pace considering the preseason expectations of this team. Their point percentage of .621 is good for third in the entire Eastern Conference, and sixth in the entire National Hockey League.
The teams ahead of them? Colorado, Dallas, Minnesota, Tampa Bay, and Carolina. Al...

Everything was set up perfectly and Trevor Zegras took full advantage. As his former team, the Anaheim Ducks, made their way to Philadelphia to face the Flyers, multiple things were in place for the star forward to get some revenge against the team that gave up on him before he even reached his prime.
The Ducks were heavily limping as they entered the doors of the Xfinity Mobile Arena. Before Tuesday night, they lost their last six straight games and last earned a win all the way back on ...

On what would’ve been Flyers founder Ed Snider’s 93rd birthday, former Duck Trevor Zegras scored twice as Philadelphia won 5-2. The game was costly as the Flyers lost winger Bobby Brink and defenseman Jamie Drysdale to rather questionable hits.
The basics
First period: 4:15 – William Gauthier (Jackson LaCombe, Troy Terry) (PPG), 10:22 – Trevor Zegras (Christian Dvorak, Travis Konecny), 14:23 – Trevor Zegras (Cam York, Sean Couturier) (PPG) Second period: 1:15 – Cam York (Nikita Grebe...

The first half of the Philadelphia Flyers hosting the Anaheim Ducks had all the drama you could hope for, and then some. Unfortunately, it also involved two Flyers players having to leave the game early after suffering some brutal and dirty hits from the Ducks.
Cutter Gauthier opened the scoring but ever so quickly it was Trevor Zegras that popped in two quick goals (from the same spot in the zone) to shift the game in the home team’s favor and get us feeling oh so good again. But that’s ...

One guy wasn’t expected to get the call up this early in the regular season. The other wasn’t even in the conversation until he arrived and Ryan Ellis and his contract went West. But at nearly the halfway point of the 2025-26 season, the Philadelphia Flyers are getting important contributions across the board. And two players have been recent bright spots: youngster Denver Barkey and journeyman Carl Grundstrom. Assuming both are in the lineup against Anaheim, Barkey will be playing his eighth ...

The Philadelphia Flyers are set to host the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night. What was once just a random visit out east for the Southern Californian team, is now one of the most highly anticipated games on the Flyers calendar for fans all over the world. It’s the drama and stakes that gets us, and now it’s two-fold.
Of course, leading all the headlines and at the front of everyone’s mind is that Cutter Gauthier is going to sheepishly make his way to Philadelphia and play in front of a crow...

When the Flyers initially signed Christian Dvorak to a one-year, $5.4-million contract last offseason, the justification was that the high price was a trade-off in order to avoid having to give Dvorak any sort of long-term guarantees. It would allow the Flyers to be flexible at the deadline and with their future plans without having to factor in multiple years of Dvorak’s cap hit, which would have been somewhere closer to $4 million on a longer deal.
It was a bet on a high floor, low cei...

The 2026 IIHF World Junior Championships have come and gone, and it was an exciting one if you paid a whole lot of attention to Philadelphia Flyers prospects.
From tapping some rear ends, to scoring a whole lot of goals, it seemed like something was always happening for at least one of this team’s prospects in the tournament. And we’re here to look at each individual player’s performance and put a good ol’ fashioned letter grade to it.

With the five-year extension of Christian Dvorak , there’s lots of things to think about in terms of the Flyers’ organizational vision of the next great Flyers team. What does it mean for Trevor Zegras? What does it mean for the Flyers view of the free agent and trade markets? What does it mean for Danny Briere and Co.’s overarching philosophy?
And finally, perhaps most important for the next great Flyers team, what does the move to extend Dvorak for five years tell us about the Flyers’ ...

Canada vs Finland
It was a battle of Flyers prospects for bronze in the early game: Heikki Ruohonen and Max Westergard vs. Porter Martone and Jett Luchanko. Often a hard game to get motivated for after falling just short of fighting for gold, both the Canadians and the Finns still put on an explosive, entertaining show. ...

The Christian Dvorak Era in Philadelphia is here to stay, for better or — more likely — for worse.
Rumors have been swirling for weeks surrounding Dvorak’s potential next contract with the Flyers, and it never seemed like a great idea to extend the forward. When it started gaining traction as a five-year deal? It got even worse.
And just as quickly as fans could start panicking about the report, the Flyers made it official, signing Dvorak to a five-year extension with a cap hit of $5...

The Philadelphia Flyers have decided to keep Christian Dvorak around for the long term and not have this just be a one-and-done experiment after signing him last summer.
Announced by the team, just hours after it was rumored to be happening through multiple sources, the Flyers have signed Dvorak to a five-year, $25.75-million contract extension that starts next season. That comes in at a $5.15-million AAV through the 2031-32 season.

On Sunday afternoon, the San Jose Sharks and forward Alexander Wennberg agreed to a three-year, $18- million contract extension. For the 31-year-old center, it was a nice payday for a player with 26 points in the first 41 games of the season.
Considering the similar statistical profiles, the extension of Wennberg prompted some discussion about what a potential Christian Dvorak extension might look like with the Philadelphia Flyers, and it appears there may be real truth to those discussi...

When the Philadelphia Flyers called up Denver Barkey to make his NHL debut in mid-December, no one was really sure how he’d fare or how long he’d be with the big club. The 5-foot-9 forward is in his first year of professional hockey, putting up 16 points (7 goals, 9 assists) in 26 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
But Barkey made an immediate impact in the Flyers’ overtime loss at Madison Square Garden, picking up two primary assists in a 23-second span while looking the part of an N...
