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...

Monday Morning Fly By: Winding down

*It’s been a busy few days around here, that’s for sure! The Flyers played their penultimate game of the preseason on Thursday, and picked up a tidy little win over the Bruins. There sure was a whole lot to like in that win, with the first look at most of the NHL regulars out of the way. [ BSH ] Notably, Matvei Michkov and Joseph Woll were the major standouts. [ PHLY ] And it was, in all, just about as good of a start to the year as we might have hoped to see from them. [ Inqu...

There’s some on-ice work that needs to be done, to be sure, but as Flyers General Manager Danny Briere alluded to in his media availability during the game, there’s some logistical work that the front office was going to need to do to sha...
