Flyers shake up forward lines at final practice before season opener

The Philadelphia Flyers open the regular season on Wednesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Due to the shortened training camp and only four preseason games, the Flyers don’t have their lineup set in stone as of yet. Add in an injury to Denver Barkey, as well as banged-up Nikita Grebenkin, and there are a few more questions. PHLY’s Charlie O’Connor shared the Flyers’ lines and pairs at Tuesday’s practice. Let’s take a look at them one by one. Flyers’ forward lines in flu...

Flyperblog: Trevor Zegras is putting his Flyers housemates to work

(NOTE: Nothing in this post is serious or real except for the fact that a bunch of dudes are living with Trevor Zegras) Philadelphia Flyers forward Trevor Zegras has been a uniting force in the team’s locker room since they acquired him last year. His friendship with defensemen Cam York and Jamie Drysdale has been well-documented. On top of that, Zegras has been letting some of the Flyers stay with him in his home. In a recent Instagram video , Zegras confirmed that forwards Denver Barkey...

NHL experts make their predictions for the Flyers’ 2026-27 season

The Philadelphia Flyers surprised a lot of people last year with their playoff spot and a first-round victory. This year, some are expecting them to match those expectations, but a few others are expecting them to fall backwards. Or off a cliff in some instances. But they are predictions or projections, and the games are not won on paper. Here then are a roundup of various outlets and where they are predicting the Flyers end up at the conclusion of 2026-27. And with some outlooks on where Port...

5 bold predictions for Flyers’ 2026-27 season

The leaves are changing colors. The morning air has shifted from balmy to slightly chilly. That coffee shop down the street has officially begun serving pumpkin spice lattes. That can all mean one thing and one thing only — hockey season is so absolutely back. With the Philadelphia Flyers just one day away from playing in their season opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins, it’s time to get sick in the head and start making some irrational (or perhaps quite rational!) season predicti...

Predicting every Flyers player’s goal total this season

It’s an inexact science. A lot of it depends on luck, being in the right place, fortunate bounces, and hot streaks. And, of course, injuries.

Here then, in order from the net out, are the predictions for each Flyer skater. Goaltenders (yes, we probab...

Player Preview: Porter Martone set to make his mark in 2026-27

The sky’s the limit for Flyers winger Porter Martone. Thankfully, he avoided a wrist injury after a minor scrum during Saturday’s scrimmage. This despite getting into a tussle with defenseman Spencer Gill late in the scrimmage. Cooler heads prevailed, and Martone took his next shift. Aside from injury, it looks like Martone is going to be in the spotlight for a variety of reasons. Already one of the odds-on favorites to take home the Calder Trophy for rookie of the year, Martone is hoping to b...

The Flyers’ new power-play unit breaks one of the NHL’s biggest unwritten rules

There has been enough noise about the Philadelphia Flyers and the power play. It’s hoping to improve. It hasn’t improved in years. There is hope with this new crop of Flyers, a younger fivesome that is hoping to turn the tide, right the ship, and get the special team into at least the top 20 in the National Hockey League. To some, that might be a pipe dream this year, seeing a power play working at almost 18 to 20 per cent. However, the Flyers are entering this 2026-27 season with an oddity th...
