Some key pieces of the Flyers are still over in Italy battling for medals. But most of the club has been back in Philadelphia practicing. And after three consecutive days where the team was getting back in the swing of things, assistant coach Todd Reirden says it’s important for some players to have strong finishes. And none of those came to the fore more than winger Matvei Michkov during Thursday’s post-practice presser.
Although Reirden spoke in depth about the trio of players called up...

It’s done. The dominant USA women’s team were deservingly awarded the gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics and it is the perfect conclusion to their story. They didn’t face much adversity until Thursday afternoon’s game against Canada, but that was also expected as the tournament would have been nothing if it wasn’t these two archrivals facing one another on the world’s biggest stage.
As the Americans walked through Canada with a clutch last-minute goal and then Megan Keller scored the ...

The Philadelphia Flyers have 26 games left of their season and while they are on track to miss the playoffs, there could still be something positive to take for a couple players.
We’ve already looked at how three Flyers should be looking at the rest of the 2025-26 season to avoid the worst-case scenarios . But it’s time to believe that the glass isn’t half-empty but half-full.
Here then is a look at three Flyers who have the most to gain the rest of the season with strong finishes. F...
The NHL is still on break due to the 2026 Winter Olympics tournament playing out through the rest of the week, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything going on. The Philadelphia Flyers returned to practice earlier this week and with the sessions happening but no actual games going on, they used the opportunity to get a closer look at some young players.
First, it was goaltender Carson Bjarnason that was recalled to be the team’s second netminder with Dan Vladar at the Olympics and Sam ...

The Phantoms are in the midst of, undeniably, the most challenging period of their season, to date. But while the results for the team as a whole have been at times maddeningly uneven, this period hasn’t been without its share of positives smattered throughout. The Phantoms have seen good flashes of impact up and down their lineup, but perhaps most notably, this last month and a half has seen Christian Kyrou making really positive strides to course correct on him game, and get things moving in...

The Philadelphia Flyers have resumed practicing although the hockey games are still being played in Italy. The season has 26 games left in it, and the Flyers need to go on a very hot streak with as many regulation wins as possible to even be in the running for a playoff spot. But beyond that, there are a few Flyers who have a lot riding on these last 26 games. Whether it’s for a contract extension, a boost in self-confidence going into the summer, or simply playing well enough to maybe find an...

The Philadelphia Flyers are getting a helping hand from the AHL during the Olympic break, in the form of a young netminder who has been having a solid rookie season.
Announced by the team Tuesday afternoon, the Flyers have officially recalled 20-year-old netminder Carson Bjarnason up from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. While it is more of just something they officially have to do on-paper, it is still nice to see a guy getting a chance to be amongst the NHL squad.

On Monday, despite a lull in the National Hockey League, the San Jose Sharks announced they’re parting company with veteran winger Jeff Skinner. The team put him on unconditional waivers in order to terminate the contract he has with the club. If he clears waivers on Tuesday, then he becomes an unrestricted free agent and is eligible to sign with whoever he pleases. The question then would be if Skinner would be a fit for the Flyers down the stretch.
Skinner signed a one-year deal with Ed...
The new year, in short, has not been kind to the Phantoms.
It’s been a challenging stretch, as depletions from both injuries and NHL recalls as well as wear creeping in elsewhere in the lineup has met with a period of the team pulling farther away from a commitment to sticking to their fundamentals, and all of this has come together to make for a 5-11 record since the calendar turned to 2026, and in the Phantoms still looking for their first win in the month of February.

The Lehigh Valley Phantoms didn’t muster much offense on Sunday afternoon, losing 3-1 to the visiting Syracuse Crunch and losing both games over the weekend. The loss overshadowed a rather impressive performance by Aleksei Kolosov.

Matthew and Brady Tkachuk are some of the most notorious pests in the NHL. Constantly getting into scrums after the whistle, causing massive problems for their opposition, and just being a general nuisance is what they thrive off of — and of course scoring loads of goals and points and being impactful players when they’re actually playing hockey.
But in a recent interview clip, Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Travis Sanheim let the world know that he doesn’t really like either of them and ...
The Cleveland Monsters had a rough first period but were the better team on Saturday night, defeating the host Lehigh Valley Phantoms 4-2 in the return of Phantoms winger Alex Bump from injury.

The NHL trade deadline always delivers a surprise or two, and with the Flyers stuck in a precarious situation, nothing can be ruled out. Could one of their young defensemen end up being the surprising move of the deadline?
Andrae’s rollercoaster tenure

Flyers winger Bobby Brink has set a career-high in goals for a season with 13 this year, and with roughly one-third of the season left to go. He probably will be hard pressed to achieve the 41 points he amassed last season, yet he could conceivably find himself in the 33-point to 35-point range at his current clip. Besides his production, Brink has also established himself as one of the hardest-working forwards the Flyers have. It’s a far cry from the forward the Flyers drafted back in 2019. A...

Despite being the most high profile member of the Flyers to get the call to the Milano-Cortina games, Travis Sanheim will have to wait at least one more game to make his Olympic debut.
On the day that Sanheim’s Canadian team was due to take on Dan Vladar’s Czechia, he skated with the other scratches, indicating that he wouldn’t take part in Canada’s opening Round Robin contest.
