There were a few teams in the running for Vancouver defenseman Quinn Hughes, including a few in the Eastern Conference. Washington was mentioned, New Jersey was tossed around given the sibling connection, and Philadelphia was briefly thrown into the mix. However, trading Hughes to Minnesota for a rather good package of young prospects, a draft pick, and an established center was a decent return for Hughes.
While the Flyers struck out on this current transaction to land the coveted world-c...

The Minnesota Wild decided to shock the hockey world by acquiring world-class defenseman Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night and the package they had to send makes it completely clear that the Philadelphia Flyers never really had a chance to get the player.
Wild general manager Bill Guerin sent hotshot rookie defenseman Zeev Buium (we’re all familiar with him), center Marco Rossi, winger Liam Ohgren, and a 2026 first-round pick off to Vancouver to get Hughes on his tea...

It’s been a wild week in the world of prospects, with movement up and down the organizational ladder, as well as some more in and out of it entirely, and we’re here to recap all of the week’s biggest happenings. Let’s get into it.
The News of the Week
We have a lot of what feel like slow news weeks around here, it’s the nature of the game, but this sure wasn’t one of them. Since we last spoke, the Phantoms’ defense group has been changed up quite a bit: Adam Ginning cleared waivers a...

*Ahead of last night’s game we learned that Rasmus Ristolainen and Cam York are really, really close to coming back into the lineup. Tocc said before Christmas for Risto, which is wild. [ Inquirer ]
*Despite a little bit of a rough one against the Knights last night, you have to assume that Emil Andrae has played well enough to remain in the top six once those tw...

The Flyers skated with Vegas throughout the night in a relatively low-event contest, making their way to overtime against one of the best teams in the West before a Travis Konecny turnover in the 3-on-3 portion of the proceedings gave Jack Eichel a chance to set up Mark Stone in front for a 3-2 Vegas victory.
The basics
First period: 6:07 – Zach Whitecloud (Ivan Barbashev, Braeden Bowman); 16:11 – Trevor Zegras (Travis Sanheim, Christian Dvorak) Second period: 12:53 (PPG) – Mark St...

The Flyers are continuing to plug away through their most recent run of home games, and after picking up a commanding win over the Sharks on Tuesday, the Flyers are going to hope to continue their winning ways over this visiting Golden Knights squad. It’s not going to be an easy matchup for them, but it’s another test of their resilience — that, even with a slightly depleted lineup, they can continue to find ways to hang with these top teams.

Flyers defenseman Emil Andrae has never met a challenge he hasn’t overcome. Last season the blueliner spent just over half a season with Philadelphia and, at times, looked like a bottom pairing defenseman. But after not being a lock in the top six — especially given the absence of Rasmus Ristolainen, Andrae could’ve wilted in his play, ending up on the fence in Lehigh Valley amid their bounty of defensemen. In the span of a week in late October and early November, Andrae was yo-yoed from the P...

The Flyers picked up a big win over the Sharks last night to stop the bleeding and protect against Sunday’s loss turning into a streak, and there was a lot to like about that showing. Carl Grundstrom came into the lineup for his second game of the season and got the fourth line their first goal of the season. Travis Konecny picked up his 500th NHL points (and, quickly, his 501st). Dan Vladar backstopped the team to his 11th win of the season. And along with all of that, rookie defenseman Ty Mu...

After his inclusion on last year’s 4 Nations Face-Off version of Team Canada, there was obvious reason to believe that Philadelphia Flyers winger Travis Konecny would be one of the front runners to play for his country once NHL players returned to the Olympic games in 2026. When Konecny got the call again to play in the World Championships later that same year and scored 13 points in just eight games, hope only grew that he would be one of the names selected to fill out what was sure to be a s...

Entering the game with an 8-1-2 record in games following a loss, the Flyers looked to continue a positive trend. While the Sharks opened the scoring, it never felt like the game was out of the Flyers’ control. On Matvei Michkov’s birthday — and Ty Murchison’s NHL debut — the Flyers were able to improve that record to 9-1-2 and skate away with a 4-1 victory over the Sharks.
The basics
First period: 11:33 – Collin Graf (John Klingberg, Will Smith), 18:39 – Christian Dvorak (Trevor Ze...

Philadelphia Flyers winger Travis Konecny collected his 500th career point Tuesday night late in the first period. Konecny got the secondary assist as he lobbed a high arcing pass that Trevor Zegras collected. Zegras fed a pass to Christian Dvorak who beat Sharks goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic to tie the game 1-1.

After a competitive showing which ended ultimately in a tough loss in the Sunday matinee to the high-powered Avalanche, the Flyers will be hoping that they can build on any positive momentum that they’ve been brewing, and get things back on track with a win over this more middling visiting Sharks team.

Flyers prospect Jett Luchanko is making his presence felt after being dealt to a team where he can finally contend. After joining the Bulldogs from Guelph in exchange for forward Layne Gallacher and four draft picks, it seemed like an opportunity for Luchanko to finally play for a dominant junior program with championship intentions.
Luchanko made his debut for Brantford on the 28th of November, joining a team that up until that point, had gone 24 games without a regulation loss and...

The Flyers are settling into the month of December and still find themselves bogged down by injuries. With a couple of key absences on the back end persisting — Cam York remains out with an upper-body injury, and Rasmus Ristolainen is still likely a couple of weeks away from being ready to make his return to the lineup — the Flyers are still looking for answers on their best mix, their best chance to keep this thing rolling without them. Sunday’s game saw them pulling Egor Zamula into the line...

For the uninitiated, Black Mirror is a TV series akin to a modern Twilight Zone . Each episode (with some exceptions) are stand-alone tales often dealing with the horrors of fictional technology on society. Sometimes it can delve into horror, thriller, and mystery. The good thing about Black Mirror that has been consistently good since it debuted in 2011. There is not set release schedule for the show, and it comes out as creator Charlie Booker comes out with these fantastical ideas. The last ...

The Philadelphia Flyers capped off their Monday night by making a trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning and it featured two young AHL defensemen moving around the Eastern Conference.
Announced by the team, the Flyers have traded 22-year-old defenseman Ethan Samson to the Lightning for also 22-year-old defenseman Roman Schmidt. Both defensemen are right handed but bring a whole lot of different energy to the ice.

Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet wants to let a certain group of fans who were heavily critical of him running out a certain forward line up against the NHL’s best team over the weekend, are actually dead wrong.
While the Flyers were hosting the Colorado Avalanche over the weekend, with just five minutes remaining and the visitors just hanging on to an improbable 3-2 lead, Tocchet decided to run out his fourth line of Nic Deslauriers, Garnet Hathaway, and Rodrigo Abols. It was ...

Despite a fervent push for an equalizer, the Flyers fell to the 21-2-6 Colorado Avalanche by a score of 3-2 on Sunday afternoon. The Flyers were a Trevor Zegras penalty shot away from drawing level with the league leading Avalanche, but ultimately it wasn’t enough, and they fell in regulation like so many other teams have this year when coming up against Nathan MacKinnon and company.
But the overall performance that they put out against the Avalanche was still one that reinforced a ...

The Flyers did not have the greatest start to December, going 1-2-0 in their three games on the week. Things didn’t start well in a lopsided 5-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins that saw the Flyers not only lose the game, but also one of their best players; Tyson Foerster injured himself taking a slap shot, and will miss the next two or three months as a result .
The good news was that the Flyers took that loss to the Penguins in stride, soundly beating the struggling Buffalo Sabres 5-2. S...

After a three-day break, the Philadelphia Flyers got back into action Sunday at Xfinity Mobile Arena with a matinee tilt against the NHL’s unquestioned juggernaut — the Colorado Avalanche. But despite being completely outmatched on paper, the Flyers put up an admirable fight. They ended up falling by a score of 3-2, but their gutsy effort gave them something to hang their hat on.

First period: 2:09 — Sean Couturier (Noah Juulsen, Owen Tippett), 8:28 — Brent Burns (Martin ...

The Philadelphia Flyers are down a couple of their most important players just in time to welcome in a team who is on top of the world and is on pace to barely lose any games in regulation this season. The Colorado Avalanche have been almost perfect this season — the pessimists will be wanting the Flyers to just not get embarrassed, and the optimists will look for some weird shutdown game where the Avalanche appear mortal.
