Owen Tippett was sitting on the brink of a milestone, with 99 goals and 199 points in his National Hockey League career entering Saturday’s game against the New Jersey Devils, and it didn’t take long for the Flyers winger to hit both milestones on the same play. Just over five minutes into the opening period, Flyers center Christian Dvorak found Tippett heading towards the net, and Tippett made a nifty move on Devils goaltender Jacob Markstrom to hit the century mark.
A DOUBLE milestone f...

It’s another quick turnaround, as the Flyers are back for the second half of their third back-to-back of the month, and looking to close out the month of November on a high note in tonight’s rematch with the Devils. The first meeting went pretty emphatically the way of the Flyers, but this Devils team is heating back up again, and the Flyers will have a more challenging matchup in front of them than the last time around.

On November 28, 1979, New York Islanders netminder Billy Smith became the first goaltender to be credited with a goal in a NHL game.
Blindly playing the puck to the blueline, Colorado Rockies defenceman Rob Ramage watched his pass slide the length of the ice into his now empty thanks to an astute move by his goalie on a delayed penalty. Smith, being the last offensive player to touch, was
A poor showing on home ice as the Tampa Bay Lightning and Brandon Hagel skate all over the New York Rangers.
The Yankees have a delicate task this offseason to upgrade the offense if they are indeed serious about improving on 2025’s disappointing finish. With multiple positions to address, potentially limited funds to do so and a lack of true difference makers outside of Kyle Tucker, the front office might have to get creative in their […]
The worst-case scenario has come true after Kyle Palmieri limped off the ice — while assisting on a goal! — during the Islanders’ shootout loss to the Flyers on Friday.

Here’s the rest of the game statuses leading up to the 8:15 p.m. […]
New York Islanders forward Kyle Palmieri has reached legend status. The veteran forward went into the boards awkwardly on Friday night against the Philadelphia Flyers, ended up tearing his ACL on the play, meanwhile was able to get to his feet, make a nice pass, which lead to an Islanders goal. It's a brutal blow for the Islanders, who are surprising a ton of people this year being in the mix for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Per the team release: Kyle Palmieri will get surgery to ...

Carlos Rodón didn’t make a great first impression in pinstripes. Signed to a six-year free agent deal before the 2023 season, the left-hander was coming off a 237-strikeout campaign and expected to slot behind Gerrit Cole as a formidable duo atop the Yankees’ rotation. Instead, he missed the season’s first three months with multiple injuries […]
Former Blue Jays player Otto Velez turns 75 today. The Jays picked Otto up from the Yankees in the Major League expansion draft in 1976. The Jays were awful that first year, finishing with a 54-107 record. They didn’t get much better in the years Otto was with the team. But he was pretty good […]

The Vancouver Canucks have become the team to watch on the trade market, as they are 100% in sell mode. While the likes of Kiefer Sherwood and Conor Garland could be dealt, all the attention is on captain Quinn Hughes, and where he's going to land. Hughes, 26, has one season left at $7.8 million AAV, and without any trade protection, he's on the block for just about every team. Yes, the New Jersey Devils have been linked as Jim Rutherford has awkwardly admitted he knows Hughes wants to play wi...
