The Philadelphia Flyers are up in Buffalo to take on the Sabres in the middle of a fairly lengthy point streak. The last time these two teams faced one another was just earlier this month and it resulted in a 5-2 lashing by the Flyers — could we see more of the same or with Buffalo in their new management era, will they put up more of a fight?

The Philadelphia Flyers and defenseman Egor Zamula have seemed to come to a fork in the road. The team this afternoon put the blueliner on waivers.
Transaction: We have placed defenseman Egor Zamula on waivers. — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) December 18, 2025
Zamula played 13 games this season for the Flyers with just one assist over that time. It was a steep drop not in terms of production but in terms of appearances. The defenseman, as previously reported, played two cons...

Tyson Foerster is now going to be out for a whole lot of time and his season is most likely over. What was an injury that was originally expected to keep the Philadelphia Flyers winger off the ice for a few months, has now been extended to a miserable five-month timeline and that runs right up until this team is probably no longer playing hockey (unless there is a deep playoff run for some reason).
With that news, does this affect anything the Flyers were planning to do this season? How w...

On Tuesday night against Montreal, Rasmus Ristolainen suited up for the first time this season for Philadelphia. He delivered a devastating but clean hit, and seemed to tell anyone within earshot or watching the game from afar that he was back. And while the hit didn’t alter the eventual outcome of the game, “double nickels” (as Trevor Zegras called him) made a very good first impression of what’s to come.
The Flyers snapped a three-game winless streak with the regulation win. But it also...

Philadelphia Flyers winger Tyson Foerster is currently out with an upper-body injury but we just got some even worse news.
Announced by the team on Wednesday morning, after combing through their options going forward in his injury recovery, the decision was made for Foerster to undergo surgery. A successful surgery took place on Monday but now, the recovery timeline has been extended to five months.

It is weird to think that the Philadelphia Flyers have gone through their entire season up until now with a massive glaring hole on their blue line, but they have. Rasmus Ristolainen has been out with an injury dating all the way back until the end of last season and finally managed to return to the ice Tuesday night in Montreal as the Flyers took on the Canadiens.
The overall consensus has been that Ristolainen is a solid player but it’s not detrimental to have him in the lineup, like it...

The Flyers made it to the next stop on their road trip, heading up to Montreal for their second matchup of the season against the Canadiens, and were able to take a 2-0 lead in the season series, and stop their winless streak at three games, as they delivered a solid showing just about from top to bottom and cruised to a 4-1 win over the Habs.

First period: 19:00- Alexandre Texier (Evans, Anderson). 19:39- Carl Grunstrom (Tippett, Couturier) Second period: 6:26- Trevor Zeg...

The Flyers are back at it on the road again tonight in Montreal, as they look to snap their three-game losing streak and begin putting together a bit more in the way of positive momentum. And with some changes made to the lineup and some shuffling done with the forward lines, the Flyers are looking for anything that can bring them that extra bit of jump to draw them closer to that aim.

Since the Flyers opened the season, it feels like they’ve managed to shuffle their forward line combinations once a week. That’s not exactly shocking, given that Rick Tocchet has been trying to get a look at as many new units as possible to see what works in his first year as head coach, but it has been a frequent occurrence nonetheless.
This morning, ahead of their matchup against the Canadiens, the lines got tossed in the blender once again following back-to-back shootout losses to the...

It’s that time of year again, and with that we here at BSH have decided to take the 12 Days of Christmas and change it around a bit.

The Philadelphia Flyers walked through the quicksands of increasingly tough opponents last week and proceeded to do everything that they are known to do this season. Nothing major was figured out — there were no breakthroughs or discoveries that have us all giddy at the thought of going through more of this campaign. It was the Flyers trying to play Rick Tocchet-style low-event hockey against some of the NHL’s best teams and getting some loser points out of their efforts.

When the Flyers announced that Cam York would miss another short stretch of time with an upper-body injury on December 4, it seemed like the most likely outcome was that the team would just reinsert Yegor Zamula to fill the momentary void, and call up someone from Lehigh Valley with past NHL experience to sit as the seventh defender,
But on December 6, the Flyers made the somewhat surprising decision to call up the 22-year old Ty Murchison instead. Murchison had played 21 games with the ...

The Philadelphia Flyers are back playing hockey once again. Less than 24 hours after hosting the Hurricanes, the Flyers are down visiting them in Carolina to start a four-game road trip. They battled hard the last time around but could they do that all over again against the top team in the Eastern Conference?

The Flyers, coming off of a competitive showing but still pretty gutting overtime loss to the Golden Knights on Thursday, will be looking to keep their positive momentum building, but it’ll be a tough matchup for them, as the top team in t...

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...
