Latest news and updates about the Flyers
If the regular season ended this morning, the New York Islanders would qualify for the playoffs by virtue of having more points, thanks to having played one more game, than Detroit, Columbus, or Philadelphia. Tonight that will not change but it can get either better or more fragile as they host the Flyers, who desperately […]
*The Flyers had a pretty major matchup on deck last night, as the Red Wings came to town and the Flyers had a chance to rebound and put a dent in their climb up the standings, but in the face of that big moment, they fell flat. And as they say, there’s a lot to unpack from this one: We’ve got our own in-house recap. [ BSH ] Some instant reactions [ PHLY ] And then some more takeaways. [ NBCSP ] And even more takeaways! [ Inquirer ] *But it’s not all bad news around...
Tyson Foerster and Porter Martone basically put the Flyers on their back Thursday night.

The loss dealt a huge blow to the Flyers playoff hopes. The basics First period: 18:49- Alex DeBrincat (Patrick Kane, Moritz Seider) (PPG) Second period: 0:31- Tyson Foerster (Owen Tippett, Trevor Zegras), 18:29- Lucas Raymond (J.T C...
The Philadelphia Flyers are playing the biggest game of their season, again. Really, every game from here on out is as crucial as the last one right up until they can possibly clinch the playoffs. They’re facing a Detroit Red Wings team that they are directly in contention with for those final few available spots in the postseason, but thankfully they have a trick up their sleeve: Tyson Foerster is back.

The point being, there is a lot going on out there in the world trying to capture your interest in hopes of eventually selling you something. One of the natural recourses to buffering said struggle, and I’m speaking from experience here, is to delay y...
It’s been 49 long games since Philadelphia Flyers winger Tyson Foerster last played, after injuring himself in the middle of a game back in December. But with news that Foerster returns to the lineup tonight against the visiting Detroit Red Wings, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet said it’s another big boost to the lineup. Tocchet went on to describe just how much the team has been missing a player like Foerster and what he brings to the table. “There’s a lot of things,” Tocchet said af...
He was supposed to be out for the rest of the regular season. But after a long four months of rehab, top forward Tyson Foerster is officially back in the Philadelphia Flyers lineup for the first time since December 1st. BREAKING: Tys is back. 👀 pic.twitter.com/5U3eCvT2y8 — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) April 2, 2026 Foerster is expected to slot in on the top line alongside Trevor Zegras and Owen Tippett when the Flyers take on the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday.  ...
The Toronto Maple Leafs are making headlines despite having a typically horrendous season, all because they have fired their general manager. Brad Treliving is out of a job after ruining that team up north for a whole lot of years (thank you for the first-round draft pick, Brad) and now the highly coveted position of running the team at the center of the hockey universe is up for grabs. And a member of the Philadelphia Flyers front office reportedly wants it. Flyers executive Dean Lo...
Tyson Foerster was supposed to miss the rest of the season. The Philadelphia Flyers were fully expecting to be without one of their best wingers for multiple months and resigned with the fact that they will just try it all again next season, with him ready to go again at training camp this fall, after he suffered a brutal injury during a game all the way back in December. Well, they’re completely wrong and Foerster is now making a shockingly early return to the Flyers lineup in the middle...
Folks, we did it. We’re Andy Dufresne at the end of The Shawshank Redemption . We’ve tunnelled out, and we’re finally free. We may not look or smell right for a while, but we’re out. It was hell. But we’re innocent. (Sorry for any spoilers of a 32-year-old film.) It’s April. Believe it or not, this was actually the best March the Red Wings have had in the last six years (and the year prior was when COVID hit so… it’s the best in the last seven years): 2020-21: 5-7-1 (11 pts...
With another crucial game Thursday against Detroit, the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves on the outside looking in, but nearing the doorstep. A victory against the Red Wings and that pushes them to 88 points. Should they have any semblance of good fortune they had Tuesday night concerning the other four teams in the hunt (Islanders, Columbus, Ottawa, and Detroit) losing, it could put them into a playoff spot. That’s the smaller picture. Others might see this upcoming three-in-four as t...
*The Flyers have yet another opportunity to gain some ground on a team dead even with them in the playoff race tonight when they meet up with the Detroit Red Wings, again. Now would be a really good time to start getting your shit together and winning some games. Anyhoo, before this game you can read Chuck’s thoughts about the last one. [ PHLY ] *Naturally most of the Other Flyers were asked what they thought of Porter Martone’s debut and naturally they all had glowing things to say. Kid ...
The Philadelphia Flyers have locked up what they hope is a core piece of the blueline. The team announced on Wednesday, they've signed right-handed defenceman David Jiricek to a two-year contract extension worth $1.5 million AAV. Jiricek was acquired by the Flyers ahead of this season's trade deadline, in a deal that saw Bobby Brink head to the Minnesota Wild. Jiricek, 22, has been playing with the AHL's Lehigh Valley Phantoms since the deal went down, and has two goals and 10 points in 10 gam...
Despite it being April Fools’ day, the Flyers have made a serious move. The team announced on Wednesday that they have agreed to a two-year contract extension with newly-acquired 22-year old defenseman David Jiricek, that will pay the former sixth overall pick 1.5 million dollars per year. BREAKING: We have signed defenseman David Jiricek to a two-year contract extension worth an annual average value (AAV) of $1.5 million. #LetsGoFlyers — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) April ...
The Philadelphia Flyers have eight games left to make the playoffs, lose heartbreakingly due to a regulation wins tie-breaker, or just fall on their faces in the final two weeks and change. With eight games in 13 days, they have their work cut out for them to get over the hump, leaping over a few other teams while hoping some scoreboard watching goes their way. It couldn’t have gone any better for the Flyers Tuesday night as Columbus, the Islanders, Detroit, and Ottawa all lost. Unfortuna...
Flyers rookie Porter Martone delivered some flash in his much-anticipated NHL debut.
As they move into their final month of the regular season, the Phantoms appear to be making some changes to their lineup. The team announced this morning that rookie goaltender Carson Bjarnason has been loaned down to Reading of the ECHL, and Yaniv Perets has been recalled to replace him. Perets has played three games with the Phantoms this season as an injury call-up, and performed reasonably well — his .873 save percentage over those three games isn’t world-beating, but the eye wo...
*Once again did the Flyers HAVE to win last night? No. Not technically. But it would’ve both made a statement and made the road to the playoffs a little easier, so naturally they went out there and lost another game to another Metro Division rival. Rare stinker from Vladar. Recap . *Ahead of last night’s game we speculated on a few ways Porter Martone could made an instant impact on his new team. In hindsight, how’d we do? [ BSH ] *Apparently Martone drew quite a crowd to the trainin...
The Flyers hit the road for a quick trip down to DC to face off against their rival Capitals tonight, and with all the momentum in the world behind them, coming off of two huge wins in the weekend back-to-back, they struggled to continue to build on that, and stumbled their way to a 6-4 loss, further complicating their playoff hopes along the way. The Basics First period: 14:59- Tom Wilson (Dubois, Sandin), 18:35- Alex Ovechkin (Roy, McMichael) Second period: 0:39- Travis Sanheim (Ko...
We’ve hit the final game of the month of March, and the Flyers are back in action just down the road in DC, set to face off against the Capitals for the final time this season. Things are getting really exciting around here, as the playoff race heats up and their top prospect steps into it, and we’ll see if the Flyers are able to keep these good vibes going in another major divisional matchup.

While the news the last few days has been Porter Martone ending his career at Michigan State, signing his entry-level deal with the Flyers, and making his debut tonight against Washington, Philadelphia head coach Rick Tocchet might have let it slip that currently injured winger Tyson Foerster is on the way. It would be a massive boost for this team, if true. If his reply Tuesday morning was any indication, it appears that Foerster will be getting back to the lineup soon. Simply put, it so...
The day is here. The time has come. Porter Martone is going to step on the ice for the first time in an NHL game for the Philadelphia Flyers — it’s something we have all been dreaming about ever since they selected him sixth overall last year. Now, we get to see who he will be playing with in the lineup. The 19-year-old winger just wrapped up his college career after Michigan State were unceremoniously knocked out of the NCAA tournament, signed his entry-level contract with the Flyers the...
The fanfare regarding the debut of Porter Martone is warranted for a lot of reasons, chief among them being that the Philadelphia Flyers are adding yet another potential top line forward for the future, who genuinely seems to want to play for the franchise. But in more specific on-ice terms, there is one specific area that the Flyers desperately need help in, and that is on the man advantage. In the midst of yet another year where they sit in 32nd in the NHL in power play perc...
The Philadelphia Flyers are going to be adding their top prospect to the lineup Tuesday night and it’s coming at the perfect time. In the middle of a revitalized playoff race, and especially after an incredibly impressive 2-1 overtime win over the Dallas Stars last Saturday, there is a real possibility that we could be seeing the postseason for the first time in Philadelphia since 2018. The excitement for the Flyers being possibly back in the playoffs is a thick fog rolling through the ci...
Cam York isn't having a flashy season at all and his role on the Philadelphia Flyers is still fairly moldable.
