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...
Welcome to the Philadelphia Flyers Top 25 Under 25 ranking, Winter 2026 edition. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be putting out our ranking of the, well, top 25 players in the Flyers organization who are under 25 years old. A total of 13 writers at Broad Street Hockey submitted ballots and here is the consensus ranking.
In our second batch of young Flyers that we’re ranking, there’s a controversial goalie, a surprise college player that is turning into a solid pro, and someone as you...
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.
Canada/Czechia is two hours away Darcy Kuemper, Travis Sanheim & Seth Jarvis skated this morning…indicatin...

The Philadelphia Flyers are firmly stuck in a position that no team truly wants to be in. With the Olympics going on and weeks away from the NHL resuming again, the Flyers are eight points out of a playoff spot with several teams in competition. But, they aren’t bad enough to truly sink to the bottom for one of the top draft picks this June.
With that in mind, what can they even do as the trade deadline approaches on March 6? Well, it could involve trading Owen Tippett.
On the latest...
Despite Danny Briere and Rick Tocchet’s comments on how this is a ‘young team’, the Flyers’ reluctance to consistently play their young prospects shows that they might be more focused on short-term stability than long-term growth.
The Philadelphia Flyers have undoubtedly been struggling — losing 12 of their last 15 — and during a skid like this, you’d expect the young guys to be getting heavy minutes, right? Well, that hasn’t been the case.
The kids aren’t alright

The Philadelphia Flyers have had their share of point-getters over the course of their history, even if some of those players haven’t been seen in some time. Whether it was Eric Lindros, Rick Tocchet, Claude Giroux, Mark Recchi, John LeClair, or Tim Kerr, several Flyers have had games where everything went right from start to finish. Here then are the top three single-game performances from Flyers over this history. These are in no particular order and there are also an honorable mention.

*It’s Flyers At The Olympics Time! We (and by we I mean me, the person writing this, who is technically sort of in charge, and I did not consult anyone else so the views expressed here may not reflect the views of Broad Street Hockey as a whole) are rooting for Team Czechia around here, and our boy Dan Vladar is pumped and ready to go! [ Inquirer ]
*Presumably Rick Tocchet is also pumped and ready to go. [ Inquirer ]
*In fact it’s probably safe to assume that all of the NHLers compet...
Things might be a little quiet in the professional realm of the hockey world, but there’s been no shortage of action unfolding across many of the lower level leagues.
This week brought the conclusion of one of the more major in-season tournaments in the college game, with the championship game of the Beanpot taking place last night. It’s always a great game to tune in for, but this year’s matchup was especially heated — after defeating Harvard and Northeastern, respectively, in last week’...
The Philadelphia Flyers traded one of the top prospects in hockey, Cutter Gauthier , for an inexperienced, inconsistent, and oft-injured defenseman in Jamie Drysdale. They certainly had their pick of names to choose from in the very private, under-the-table Gauthier sweepstakes, and the front office decided Drysdale was worth hitching their wagons to. To that point, the young defenseman had begun to stall in his development, but with a more stable environment in Philadelphia, we’re just beginn...
As the Philadelphia Flyers take a break and the trio of Olympians head to Italy to go represent their country and hopefully get some sort of medal, we’re taking a broader look at the future of this organization.
While the full Top 25 Under 25 series goes on during the summer over here at Broad Street Hockey, we thought it would be a perfect opportunity, with no Flyers going on, to have a mid-season check-in. Just look at where we think some prospects are heading and where some young profe...
*Go time on what, you ask? Well, dear reader, we have elected to use this nice long Olympic break productively by running through a winter edition of the BSH 25 Under 25! LET’S GO! [ BSH ]
*Also great news, everyone: people are still weighing in on the Matvei Michkov/Rick Tocchet… situation. Great. Surely you were wondering what Chris Pronger thought of all this. [ Inquirer ]
*Otherwise it’s All Olympics in the hockey cinematic universe, and these are the things we’re going to be wat...
We’re only just entering the first full week of this Olympic break, but already it feels as though things have been slowed down to a crawl in the hockey world for ages. It’s high time for us to find something to sustain us through these sure to be quiet next few weeks, and there’s no better time than now to get into our favorite biannual series. It’s Top 25 Under 25 season again!
The concept of the series is simple — your very favorite contributors from the website here all make our perso...
We won’t be watching the actual hockey team the Philadelphia Flyers on the ice for more than two weeks but some of their players will be gleefully on our screens participating in the 2026 Winter Olympics. Defenseman Travis Sanheim for Canada, goaltender Dan Vladar for Czechia, and defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen for Finland, have already made their way across the Atlantic and are preparing for the men’s tournament to start Wednesday.
While there aren’t any first-line stars who will be getti...
With the Philadelphia Flyers not playing during the Olympic break, what better time to take a look at the top 3 brawls in Flyers history?
There have been a plethora of Flyers line brawls over their 50+ years as a franchise in the NHL. They didn’t get deemed the Broad Street Bullies for nothing. In this article, I will be ranking my top 3 Flyers line brawls of all time. Feel free to leave a comment on which Flyers brawl was your favorite down below.

*Folks! We’ve officially made it to the Olympic break. We’re ready to more or less shut the Flyers out of our minds, especially after the loss that they dropped on us in their last game before this break. [ PHLY ]
*It was an especially tough loss, because there were points in there where a win really was within reach for the Flyers, if they had just been able to bear down and not miss on so many of their opportunities. [ BSH ]
*As we said, we’re pretty ready for the break, but there’...
The Phantoms hit the road for a quick trip up to Bridgeport this evening, for the final game of the weekend and their final game before the break. They were looking to close this one out on a high note, and prevent the Islanders from gaining any more ground on them in the standings, but between a stilted offensive effort and a bit of shaky goaltending, they struggled to get themselves off the ground, and instead came away with another quite lopsided loss.
The basics
First period: 6:0...
It was the first time Michigan and Michigan State met as the nation’s top two teams, and, much like their previous matchups, they split the weekend series. The Spartans came out strong on both nights, but the Wolverines mounted a comeback in game one. Flyers prospects Shane Vansaghi and Porter Martone each found the back of the net during the series.
Game 1: Michigan State 3, Michigan 4 (OT)
After a tightly contested opening stretch with both teams feeling each other out, Charlie Str...
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms had a season-high 41 shots and scored five times, but Wilkes-Barre/Scranton were one better thanks to Matt Dumba’s hat trick and a sensational night from goaltender Joel Blomqvist for an entertaining 6-5 victory over the hosts Friday night.
The basics
First period: 1:14- Matt Dumba (Ville Koivunen, Tristan Broz) 4:11- Ville Koivunen (Tristan Broz, Melvin Fernstrom), 15:34- Lane Pederson (Unassisted) (SHG) Second period: 1:40- Maxence Guenette (Anthony Richa...
The Flyers, riding high after snapping their losing streak with a big win over the Capitals on Tuesday, went into their final game before the break with a significant challenge on their hands — keeping their positive momentum rolling now that they finally had it. And while there were pieces in the matchup which worked in their favor, between a similarly matchup Senators team broadly, but more precisely one starting a 37-year old James Reimer only a handful of games into his stint with Ottawa a...
The Flyers finished their pre-Olympic gauntlet Thursday night with a 2-1 overtime loss against the Ottawa Senators. The Flyers capped off this stretch of 56 games with a record of 25-20-11. And while some players we mentioned previously well more than happy to see the Olympic break now for a few weeks, there are a few other players who maybe hate the fact they’re now having some down time. It’s not every Flyer, but we take a look at three Flyers who are playing quite well of late, and would ju...
*Without much in the way of hyperbole, that was the worst hockey game I have ever seen. An embarrassing effort, if you could even call it that. Surely you want to read about it, so… RECAP !
*The Flyers were looking for build some momentum last night heading into the Olympic break — like okay obviously winning is good but you’re off for 19 days boys I’m not sure that’s how “momentum” works, exactly — and they absolutely did not succeed in doing that. [ Inquirer ]
*Ricky Tacos wants ev...
The Flyers scored late to tie the game 1-1 and earn one point thanks to Jamie Drysdale. However, it was the only point they got as Ottawa defeated Philadelphia in overtime 2-1, leaving the Flyers with 61 points at the Olympic break.
The Basics
First period: No scoring Second period: 9:55- Nick Cousins (Shane Pinto, Michael Amadio) Third period: 18:46- Jamie Drysdale (Bobby Brink, Trevor Zegras) Overtime: 0:47- Tim Stutzle (Brady Tkachuk) SOG: 16 (PHI) – 27 (OTT)
Some Takeaways
...
It’s here. The last game we’ll be watching of this dang Philadelphia Flyers team for a whole 20 days. Should we try to savor it? Maybe take in every single minute so that we can keep it in our heads until they return on Feb. 25? Maybe. Or, we could just get through it as fast as possible so we can relax for a little bit. They’re facing Claude Giroux and his Ottawa Senators, by the way.
