Flyers just had the worst breakaway attempt ever in NHL history
The Philadelphia Flyers have made history. On Wednesday night, Sean Couturier and Nikita Grebenkin combined to There have been a handful of shootout and breakaway attempts that have been quite memorable for the fact they were so awful. On April 11, 2010, New York Rangers forward Olli Jokinen needed to score against Brian Boucher for the Rangers to stay alive, keep the shootout going, and avoid elimination in the final game of the year. Boucher needed to stop the puck for the Flyers to win...
Takeaways: Flyers mount another comeback to beat Panthers 4-2 in strange matchup
The Flyers wrapped up the Florida leg of their road trip tonight with the third and final matchup of the season against the Panthers. It was a wild game, to be sure, complete with strange breakdowns, unconventional approaches to attempting to create chances, and another huge comeback on the Flyers’ part to come away with a 4-2 win, and ultimately, a win in the season series. The Basics First period: 5:21- Brad Marchand (Bennett, Verhaeghe) Second period: 5:16- Carter Verhaeghe (Ben...
Flyers @ Panthers: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread
It’s their last game before the holiday, and the next stop on the Flyers’ road trip is in Sunrise, Florida, as they’re set to face off with the Panthers for the third and final time this season. They’ll be hoping to catch the Panthers — who have been finding more middling results so far this season — on one of their off nights, and bounce back from their tough showing on Monday, which saw them shut out by the Lightning. It’s another bit of up and down from the Flyers in what’s been a wild seas...
Flyperblog: A handful of Flyers fans resist falling in love with Trevor Zegras
It is extremely important to note that absolutely none of the below is real. This is an entirely fake work of satire by an individual who could and should probably put his brainpower to better use. Thanks for reading! Trevor Zegras is off to a fantastic start with the Philadelphia Flyers, having scored 21 points in 20 games. This start puts Zegras up there with Peter Forsberg, Danny Briere, Jaromir Jagr, Tony Amonte, and Jeremy Roenick, who all had 20 or more points in their first 20 game...
Flyers prospect report: Martone stays hot, Luchanko’s on the move
November is winding down and the Flyers’ prospects worldwide have been busy in action. Let’s get into some of this week’s top performances. The News of the Week It’s been a relatively quiet week around here, all things considered, but there was just one pretty major bit of news that broke yesterday morning — Jett Luchanko has finally been traded to a true contender, and he’ll finish out his junior career in Brantford. Three Stars Jett Luchanko Luchanko certainly — know...
Nikita Grebenkin draws back into Flyers lineup, fans rejoice
Fans of the Philadelphia Flyers around the world get to finally breathe a little bit easier ahead of Wednesday night’s collision against the Florida Panthers. Nikita Grebenkin is going to play. After missing way too many consecutive games and being a healthy scratch back in Philadelphia and to start the road trip Tuesday in Tampa, Grebenkin appears to be back in his spot on the Flyers’ fourth line next to Rodrigo Abols and Garnet Hathaway. Hello from #Flyers morning skate in Sunrise ...
Flyers not ‘afraid’ to trade away draft picks for players
The Philadelphia Flyers are having a season that not many expected. Only some of the most optimistic fans would have thought that they would be battling for a playoff spot as we head into December and looking like a team that certainly deserves their record. With the team potentially turning a corner on the ice and still with so many prospects that are hopefully going to be banging down the door of the NHL in the coming years, does it mean that the Flyers are going to shift their trade me...
Flyers need to scratch Garnet Hathaway before it’s too late
If you look at the Philadelphia Flyers’ statistics through 21 games, you will see a few goose eggs that pop up at you. You expect Sam Ersson and Dan Vladar to have no goals and no assists so far this season. Goaltenders rarely end up on the scoresheet. You might also be surprised that although it’s just been 11 games, defenseman Emil Andrae is also looking for his first goal but does have three helpers. And that Matvei Michkov is still looking for his first game-winning goal of the 2025-26 sea...
Wednesday Morning Fly By: It’s giving thanks
*Back at it tonight against the other Florida team, but with one single day off there was nothing to do but to turn the flames up on these Quinn Hughes rumors. Everybody is talking about the Canucks and what deal they’re likely to make. [ TSN ] *Naturally all of the Insiders™ came out to say that They’re Hearing that the Flyers are interested in a potential trade for Hughes. Much like the other 30 teams in the league, the Flyers are almost certainly interested in acquiring arguably the le...
What each Flyer should be thankful for this Thanksgiving
The Canadian Thanksgiving was last month, but this week marks the annual Thanksgiving in the U.S. A day marked with family (some of whom you don’t care for), turkey (leftovers of which you don’t care for), and plenty of NFL football (many of the teams you don’t care for). So on this holiday for reflection and appreciation, let’s see what each Flyer player has to be thankful for this season thus far. Some have a bit more to be grateful for than others, but everyone should be looking at the glas...
Flyers reportedly interested in acquiring Quinn Hughes from Canucks
One of the best defensemen in this era of the NHL is potentially going to be traded and the Philadelphia Flyers are one of the teams who are expected to have some interest. Quinn Hughes has planted himself at the top of the pile of blueliners across the world and for the Vancouver Canucks, has been a major difference-maker ever since he stepped foot onto the ice at Rogers Arena. But with the team going nowhere but mediocrity and Hughes’s upcoming unrestricted free agency status in 2027, t...
What to expect from Flyers’ Jett Luchanko after trade to Brantford in OHL
For the entirety of his OHL career, Philadelphia Flyers prospect Jett Luchanko has played on a team that did not surround him with the requisite talent to compete at a high level. This week that changed. Luchanko has started off strong overall back in the Canadian junior ranks, with 17 points in his first 11 games. However, he’s only scored twice, and his now former team the Guelph Storm still sit seventh in the OHL’s Western Conference. It was shaping up to be another fruitless year for ...
Tuesday Morning Fly By: Scoring goals is good
*Kinda wild that the Flyers haven’t been shut out this season until last night, given this team’s scoring woes. Anyhoo, gotta score if you’re going to win. RECAP ! *Big news yesterday! Jett Luchanko’s long regional nightmare is over and he has been traded from the Guelph Storm. [ BSH ] *His new team has a coach that the Flyers know very well, which you’d assume the organization likes. [ NBC Sports Philly ] *Alright so what’s this mean for our speedy young boy who is allergic to ...
Takeaways: Flyers can’t beat Andrei Vasilevskiy, get shut out for first time this season
After a pretty exciting week, the Flyers went to Tampa and left without a goal. Brandon Hagel was the star of the game with two goals and an assist, while Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped all 20 shots fired his direction. A sluggish start lingered well beyond the first period, with the Flyers never really finding their offensive game. In the end, the Flyers left Tampa Bay with a 3-0 loss. The basics First period: 15:34 – Brandon Hagel (Emil Lilleberg, Nikita Kucherov) Second period: ...
Flyers @ Lightning: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread
The Philadelphia Flyers have been kicking it back and after a lengthy break, they earned two fairly solid wins against the St. Louis Blues and the New Jersey Devils last week. Now, to kick off this road trip they are down in Florida facing a fairly ravaged Tampa Bay Lightning squad. Puck drop: 7:00 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: NBCSP 📻: 97.5 The Fanatic Pregame reading It has nothing at all to do with the upcoming game but Flyers prospect Jett Luchanko was traded in ...
Denver Barkey continuing to produce for Phantoms
It’s been another busy week of action in the books for the Phantoms, and after kicking off their week with a big win on home ice against a high-powered Rochester team (holding the top scoring offense in the league to just two goals), they took their show on the road for a pair of games against Providence and Hartford on the weekend. That weekend back-to-back ended in a split, with a strong response game pulled together against the Wolf Pack after a tough loss to the Bruins on Friday, bringing ...
Flyers prospect Jett Luchanko traded from Guelph in OHL
It’s something so many fans have been clamoring for, to watch one of the top Philadelphia Flyers prospects in a more exciting and offensively charged environment on a much better team. And, well, it finally happened. According to Jeff Marek, the Guelph Storm have traded Flyers prospect Jett Luchanko to the powerhouse Brantford Bulldogs in the OHL. Luchanko goes from needing to be the main offensive driver on a playoff bubble team in junior hockey, to possibly the best team in the entire C...
Monday Morning Fly By: On a roll
*What a weekend it’s been! When we last spoke, the Flyers were coming off a big win over the Blues, wherein they put together a much improved start to the game, all things considered. [ BSH ] *Friday also brought us the news that the Flyers might just be looking to upgrade their center situation. [ BSH ] *Friday, even more importantly, saw the Flyers paying tribute to the late great Bernie Parent. [ Inquirer ] *That tribute would continue into Saturday’s game, which was in other...
Flyers’ Emil Andrae and Jamie Drysdale pairing shows immediate promise
Coming off of a big win over the Blues on Thursday, a game which got the Flyers going again after a four-day layoff, they were back in action last night with a much more challenging task ahead of them — taking down a much tougher (at least as far as place in the standings is concerned) divisional opponent as the Devils came to town. This was another game which could have gone sideways quickly on the Flyers, as they again gave up an early goal, but instead of getting down, they managed not just...
Matvei Michkov: The first 100 games
Matvei Michkov was still supposed to be playing in the KHL this season. At least, that was the expectation for him when the Flyers drafted him in the first round (seventh overall) in the 2023 NHL Draft. There was speculation he could possibly get across the pond a year earlier than expected if the KHL team he was playing for let him go and released him prior to his contract ending. But the Flyers brass were there front and center when Michkov arrived in the U.S. He was here to start his career...
Flyers’ 3 Stars of the Week: Foerster helps make history, Vladar remains a wall
With just two games on the schedule, it looked as if this might be a bit of a quiet week for the Flyers. But boy was that not the case. Dan Vladar bounced back in a big way after a tough outing in Dallas, they made history with three quick goals, and they may have found a new defensive pairing. With an overtime win against St. Louis and a regulation win — yes, a regulation win — against New Jersey, they finished the week with a perfect 2-0 record. With that, let’s take a look at the standouts....
Takeaways: Flyers give Devils their due with strong 6-3 victory
The Flyers scored three goals in 26 seconds, scored a season-high six goals (all at even-strength), and registered their fifth win in regulation with a convincing 6-3 victory over visiting New Jersey on Saturday night. The basics First period: 7:37 – Timo Meier (Jesper Bratt, Nico Hischier) (PPG), 9:00 – Noah Cates (Unassisted), 12:06 – Matvei Michkov (Sean Couturier), 12:15 – Tyson Foerster (Noah Cates, Travis Konecny), 12:32 – Tyson Foerster (Noah Cates, Nick Seeler) Second period:...
Flyers erupt for 3 goals in 26 seconds, break franchise record against Devils
The Flyers made history against New Jersey tonight, unleashing a flurry of three goals in 26 seconds to break a franchise record, and turn what was a tied game into a lopsided contest. Midway through the first period, Sean Couturier won a puck battle along the wall and delivered a pass to Matvei Michkov that sprung the Russian phenom on a breakaway from the blue line. That then allowed Michkov to finish coolly through the five-hole of Jake Allen, and start the oncoming barrage with 7:54 ...
Flyers vs. Devils: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread
After a big win over the Blues on Thursday to get things rolling again after their long break, the Flyers are back in action tonight with a much more difficult task on their hands — keeping their positive momentum rolling against a much hotter visiting Devils team. Puck drop: 7:00 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: NBCSP 📻: 97.5 The Fanatic Pregame reading The rumor mill continues to turn, and the most recent word is that the Flyers might just be in the market to bolster their mix ...
Two Flyers prospects connect for a sick goal
The Michigan State Spartans entered Friday night’s contest against the Wisconsin Badgers riding a nine-game winning streak and a perfect in-conference record. Up two early and seemingly in control, a rough second period forced the Spartans to chase the game. While their comeback bid fell short, and their winning streak may have ultimately come to an end last night, not all was lost. Before things turned sour, two members of the Philadelphia Flyers’ 2025 draft class combined for a pretty sweet ...
