And just like that, the final week before the break has arrived. It’s certainly been an exciting lead-up to it (for better or worse), but the Flyers will be hoping against all hope that they can get the ball rolling here and find a way to hit the break on a bit of a high. And there’s no better chance to get that started than with a matchup against another divisional rival, as the Capitals come to town.

The Flyers will be closing up shop for a few weeks when the season takes a roughly three-week break for the Winter Olympics in Italy. A few Flyers — including Travis Sanheim and Dan Vladar — will be making the trip across the pond to represent their respective countries. But for other Flyers, the break can’t come soon enough.
Philadelphia’s winning percentage the last month has almost mirrored their power play efficiency. And that could mean nearly everyone will be happy to get away for a...

It is enough for the Philadelphia Flyers to have lost 11 of their last 13 games before Tuesday night’s game against the Washington Capitals. But now, they have a potential crisis on their hands as head coach Rick Tocchet and winger Matvei Michkov are having a fairly public conflict.
Throughout the entire season, how the Flyers’ young Russian star is getting barely any more minutes than bottom-six wingers has been a point of contention for fans. We saw the dazzling displays of talent durin...

The Philadelphia Flyers have had a rollercoaster of a season. Well, if there is a rollercoaster that is just one hill where you climb up, start to feel good about where you’re going, and then the tracks just end and you plummet to your death. But how will this all affect the upcoming trade deadline? Can they really justify any moves after losing 11 of their last 13 games?
Flyers general manager Danny Briere appeared on 97.5 The Fanatic during the Flyers Carnival last weekend and cleared t...

*Blissfully, we have only two games between us and the Olympic break and the first of those is tonight against the Capitals. Another opportunity to get two points on a Division rival. Hopefully the boys enjoyed the heck out of Sunday’s Flyers Charities Carnival and will hit the ice refreshed and ready to go. It was a fun day. [ Inquirer ]
*Anyway so Rick Tocchet seems to be a big topic of conversation this week. For obvious reasons. But we probably shouldn’t be surprised that this is the ...

It was a solid week for winger Travis Konecny. And despite the losses Philadelphia had in games where he scored in Columbus and Buffalo, Konecny’s goal-scoring touch was recognized Monday when the National Hockey League named him the third star of the week.

With the Philadelphia Flyers really stinking it up as of late, a whole lot of our attention has turned to the 2026 NHL Draft, unfortunately. No longer dreaming of breaking the playoff drought with a fun bunch of underdog players and then throwing Porter Martone in the mix to potentially cause some havoc in the postseason, making us even more excited for training camp in September.
No, they suck and are losing games so now we still have to wring our hands together thinking if they have eno...

*The Flyers Charities Carnival was yesterday and, from the looks of it, fans had a fantastic time and the event was a rousing success. Wonderful stuff, one of the best days of the season. And a great way to distract us from thinking about Saturday’s overtime loss, which was not wonderful stuff. RECAP !

After spending the first several years of their NHL careers with the Philadelphia Flyers, Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost have now been with the Calgary Flames for just over a year. Saturday marked the one-year anniversary of the Flyers trading the two forwards to Calgary in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, a second-round pick in 2025, and a seventh-round pick in 2028.
The trade was the first of a few by Danny Briere and Keith Jones that were meant to mark the final stages of ...

Two fast starts, two hat tricks, and a dominant showing from the Flyers’ sixth overall pick in 2025 capped off Michigan State’s weekend sweep of Penn State. Porter Martone had six points as the Spartans took both games, completing the season sweep of the Nittany Lions.
The series opened Friday night with an early offensive surge from Michigan State. Anthony Romani and Owen West gave the Spartans a quick two-goal lead before Martone got on the scoresheet, recording the first of his six wee...

The Flyers earned a point but came up short on Saturday afternoon, losing to Los Angeles 3-2 in a rather low-event, excitement-free contest. The loss was Philadelphia’s fourth in a row.

The Flyers seem to have something of a revolving door situation going on as it relates to their roster, and it seems that they’ve made one more adjustment as they move into the final trio of games before the Olympic break. The rug seems to have well and truly been pulled out from under the Flyers — their losing streak has now stretched to three games again, and they have just two wins in their last 10 games — and they’re throwing anything and everything they can at the wall, and hoping that th...

The Phantoms, depleted by both recalls to the Flyers and injuries of their own, have been working through their most challenging stretch of the season on a collective level, but this weekend also brought the biggest challenge of rookie goaltender Carson Bjarnason’s season, to date — and along with it, a chance for his greatest show of resilience yet, in turn.

The Philadelphia Flyers are starting to turn the corner on their rebuild — or at least they’re trying to.
Elliotte Friedman speculated that the Flyers might be interested in New York Rangers winger Artemi Panarin on the most recent episode of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast . We wrote on that report earlier on Friday, with a look at how it might benefit the Flyers.
Sure, bringing in a Russian winger to help Matvei Michkov and take this team to the next level might make sense right now, but ...

It is the loudest secret in the hockey world that the Philadelphia Flyers need to improve at the center position. General manager Danny Briere might as well be standing at the corner of Broad and Pattison waving around one of those massive medieval bells yelling if anyone has a skilled center available.
Sure, they technically have enough to ice a hockey team and they aren’t going out there every night with someone who barely knows how to play the position — some might say that there is a ...

On Thursday night, as the Philadelphia Flyers took on the Boston Bruins, Matvei Michkov took a high hit from David Pastrňák that left him bleeding, and the most alarming part wasn’t the contact itself – it was the Flyers’ lack of response afterward.
After the horn sounded in TD Garden last night after the Flyers’ 6-3 loss to the Bruins, one thing was for certain – the team lacks energy. This is not the same team that beat the brakes off the Anaheim Ducks on January 6, and definitely not t...

The Flyers went into Boston looking for redemption after heroics from Travis Konecny and Dan Vladar were wasted in last night’s loss to Columbus, and well, they didn’t find it. Rick Tocchet also shuffled the lines, finally giving Trevor Zegras a look at center, which didn’t go too well. Despite injury scares, both Konecny and Rasmus Ristolainen remained in the Flyers’ lineup, but they lost yet another player mid-game.

After a tough loss to the Blue Jackets in Columbus last night, the Flyers are right back at it again tonight, wrapping up a quick road trip with a trip up to Boston to face off against the Bruins for the first time this season.

The Philadelphia Flyers were looking to take a step forward this year. Offseason acquisitions of Trevor Zegras, Christian Dvorak, and Dan Vladar were meant to help the core of veterans and up-and-coming youngsters become at least a team on the playoff bubble.
And for the first half of the season, it looked like the Flyers were taking a step forward. But that’s all come crashing down in the last few weeks, highlighted by a six-game losing streak. They are now 2-7-2 in their last 11 games, ...
