Last week’s trade deadline did not prove to be too fruitful for the Philadelphia Flyers. The biggest move they did actually make was the one-for-one swap of winger Bobby Brink for the younger and more raw defenseman, David Jiricek from the Minnesota Wild. But according to a recent report, they were eyeing a sizeable addition but not at forward, or getting another defenseman; it was in the crease.
No trade was actually made, of course — since, you know, the trade deadline passed last Frida...
The Phantoms kicked off another busy weekend in Syracuse last night for the first leg of this upcoming three-in-three, looking to get the ball rolling for themselves again, and also settle in with their new lineup on the other side of the NHL and AHL trade deadlines. The Phantoms have been working some new faces into the lineup of late — Boris Katchouk and David Jiricek most notably last week — and another exciting new introduction was made last night, as winger Noah Powell skated in his AHL d...

The Philadelphia Flyers are letting a player get some well-earned NHL paychecks after being a very steady farmhand down in the AHL.
Announced by the team on Saturday morning, the Flyers have recalled 34-year-old Garrett Wilson from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

The Flyers saw both Sam Ersson and Dan Vladar used on Wednesday night and Thursday night, respectively. Ersson, who has been having an arduous season and has numbers that maybe only Edmonton’s Tristan Jarry would be envious of, wasn’t tested often but made the key stops at the key times in a 4-1 Flyers win over Washington. On Thursday, Vladar — essentially Philadelphia’s “A” starter or number one — came up huge in the shootout against Mats Zuccarello and Kirill Kaprizov as Philadelphia left wi...
It’s been a busy week in the world of prospects, with faces new and old coming and going, and more players stepping up as their stretch runs ramp up. Let’s take a few moments to check in with this week’s top contributors.
The News of the Week
It’s been a busy week around here, to say the least. The NHL trade deadline has come and gone, and it brought some pretty major changes to the Phantoms with it. Alexis Gendron and Massimo Rizzo were traded to the Bruins, with Brett Harrison and ...
On Saturday night, the Philadelphia Flyers are playing host to the Columbus Blue Jackets, a game where both teams are on the outside looking in and really might not have much to play for. However, the Flyers promotional and marketing side have made it a night to try to remember, calling it The Office Night after the popular American comedy series (based on the just as stellar original British version).
So, with The Office show in the minds of fans heading to Xfinity Mobile Arena, what bet...
The last time the Philadelphia Flyers made the playoffs, I was an 18-year-old high school senior who missed graduation because of COVID. Now I’m 24 and finishing my master’s degree – and I’m sick and tired of watching the Flyers lose.
I know there are probably many of you who are much older than I who have been waiting for a Stanley Cup to come down Broad Street for a lot longer than I have – and for that, I’m sorry. It’s frustrating watching your favorite hockey team struggle to be a con...
Trevor Zegras had a great season thus far with the Flyers. Most of it was on the wing alongside Christian Dvorak. Occasionally he was a “hybrid” center, with essentially Dvorak taking the faceoff and then the duo switching positions during open play. It was an experiment, then it came and went, and then it looked to be over.
However, in the last little while, whether from on high or from head coach Rick Tocchet himself, Zegras has found himself playing down the middle. And he’s looking a ...
After two games off, Flyers defenseman Emil Andrae was slid back into the lineup last night in Minnesota, and stepped up quite quickly and decisively as a driver in the success that the team found against a tough Wild opponent.
Through much of these last couple of months, Andrae’s usage has been, in a word, sparing — with an extended sidelining beginning in the end of January which stretched to the other side of the Olympic break, it was a full month between games for him, and so far he’s...
*The Flyers needed the extra time to do it, but they beat the Wild last night in Minnesota so at least staying up late was worth it this time. RECAP !
*Going back a couple days to that Caps game… Owen Tippett was all over the place, huh? [ BSH ]
*Speaking of that Caps game, this is pretty hilarious. Tom Wilson sucks but this is funny. [ RMNB ]
*Kinda related, Nikita Grebenkin does a really good job pissing guys on the other team off. Which is just one of the reasons he fits so w...
A tired Flyers team overcame a somewhat off night by Dan Vladar, another string of horrid power plays and a rested Minnesota Wild to eke out a 3-2 shootout victory in what was one of the grittier efforts of the season.
The basics
First period: 18:36- Emil Andrae (Trevor Zegras) Second period: 8:39- Matt Boldy (Mats Zuccarello, Quinn Hughes) (PPG), 17:51- Kirill Kaprizov (Brock Faber, Quinn Hughes) Third period: 7:58- Owen Tippett (Carl Grundstrom, Travis Sanheim) (SHG) Overtime: No s...
After defeating the Washington Capitals by a wonderful score of 4-1, the Philadelphia Flyers are quickly making their way out to Minnesota to face the Wild and face a familiar face. Bobby Brink is going to be on the other side of the ice tonight.

Owen Tippett had one of those games. The Philadelphia Flyers winger might not have been on the score sheet a whole lot against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night, but he was all over the ice and showed just how he can take over a game using all the tools he has.
At the end of the night, Tippett scored one goal, an empty netter at that. He added an assist on an extremely pretty goal by Trevor Zegras. And Tippett was third among Flyers forwards with 16:40 ice time, behind Christian ...
The Philadelphia Flyers have long been known for getting under the opposition’s skin. Whether it was players like Travis Konecny or Wayne Simmonds stirring the pot, the Flyers have almost always had someone willing to irritate the other team. This season, that role appears to belong to Nikita Grebenkin.

The 2026 Big Ten Hockey Tournament opened Wednesday night with three quarterfinal matchups, including No. 2 seed Michigan hosting No. 7 seed Notre Dame and Flyers prospect Cole Knuble. The Fighting Irish fell the the Wolverines 6-1, and with the loss, it seems likely that Knuble will turn pro in the coming days.

The first period was fairly even, with Notre Dame holding their own despite entering as the underdog. However, it wouldn’t stay that w...
While it isn’t always the most fruitful path, signing undrafted players out of college is certainly one way for NHL teams to inject some talent for absolutely free, into their organization. Sometimes they become Martin St. Louis — or for more modern examples, high-end role players like Avalanche defenseman Sam Malinski or San Jose Sharks forward Collin Graf — and sometimes turn into just everyday professionals who get to start playing hockey for money instead of an education.
For the Phil...

Coming off an embarrassing 6-2 defeat to the New York Rangers on Monday night, the Flyers responded well. It was going to be difficult to play any worse, but nonetheless, Philadelphia trailed yet again ten minutes in. Despite allowing the first goal, as per tradition, the Flyers carried a lead into the third period for the second time in the last 15 games. The Flyers had not held a lead at any point in a game since March 2 in Toronto, where they conceded that lead after just 2:48. They’ve stop...
The Flyers are back in action tonight and ready to kick off the first leg of this midweek back-to-back, and, even more critically, looking to find a way to bounce back from a very tough loss to the Rangers on Monday. They’ll have to get through another divisional rival to do it, as they have a tough Capitals team in front of them, so this won’t be an easy task, but this Flyers team has often flexed their resilience so far this season, and its next test lies ahead.

While the NHL trade deadline has come and gone, that doesn’t mean the transactions are done. As junior leagues and NCAA seasons start to end around the continent, a whole lot of teams are signing their prospects to their first professional contracts and bringing them in to get a much closer look and how they’re developing. The Philadelphia Flyers are one of those teams as they have signed one of their prospects to an entry-level contract after his college season wrapped up.

Emil Andrae, just one year ago, was playing top-four minutes for John Tortorella’s Philadelphia Flyers. It looked like the club might have unlocked a new level for their Swedish defender, until the very moment it stopped. You can almost pinpoint on a calendar when things changed for Andrae– December 20, 2024, the day he was sent back to the AHL.
“It’s gotten too rich for him,” said Tortorella about the demotion. He was pretty clearly told to work on a specific part of his game, and perhap...
The Philadelphia Flyers have been on a roller coaster this past weekend, beating the Pittsburgh Penguins 4–3 in a thrilling shootout victory Saturday night before getting embarrassed at home by the New York Rangers 6-2. Not much has gone right for this team lately, but one positive development has been Matvei Michkov’s shift to the right wing and the effectiveness we’ve seen from the move.
