The Philadelphia Flyers hit the road looking to get back on track after two blowout losses against the Tampa Bay Lightning to end a four-game homestand. Philadelphia has now lost three games in a row, going back to the overtime defeat against Toronto, and could be staring a five-game losing streak in the face if they lose tonight, as they’re just 2-3-1 in the second half of back-to-backs this season.
The Flyers did get some good news on Wednesday morning, though, with defenseman Jamie Dry...
On Monday night in Philadelphia, Tampa Bay center Brayden Point suffered a right knee injury and needed help getting off the ice. The scene wasn’t great for Jon Cooper because… Point it not only one of the more important players on his Lightning roster, but he’s also supposed to play for Cooper with Canada’s Olympic team. Reports on Tuesday are that the injury is “not good.”

On Saturday night, against the red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning, the Philadelphia Flyers aspired to take two points. Or at least get a loser point from the formidable foe. They were playing them again on Monday night for an oddly slated two-game miniseries with both games at Xfinity Mobile Arena. But after giving up the first goal to a wide-open Nikita Kucherov less than two minutes in, Philadelphia’s Garnet Hathaway’s first of the year tied things up. After that, Ersson should’ve settled down. Sho...
The Pittsburgh Penguins are keeping the buy and sell doors open at the same time. Pittsburgh Hockey Now’s Dan Kingerski leaned into that reality by flagging four young players Kyle Dubas should have on the radar as trade chatter heats up, all guys with pedigree, upside, and the kind of “change of scenery” appeal the Penguins have chased in recent years.

Kingerski’s list starts with Jakob Pelletier , a 2019 first round pick (26th overall) who is now in the Tampa Bay Li...
Here are your Pens Points for this Wednesday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins and Tampa Bay Lightning were deadlocked at zero for almost 60 minutes Tuesday night before J.J. Moser broke the scoreless tie for the Lightning, followed by a dramatic equalizer by Evgeni Malkin. Both teams played a frantic five-minute overtime session, but Tampa Bay […]
Pregame Mixed news in changes for the Penguins; the bad is Erik Karlsson being out of the lineup with injury to send the blueline into a myriad of changes. The good is Bryan Rust returning from an injury of his own to restore balance and order to the forward groups. Arturs Silovs gets his turn […]
It took a little longer than most of the games in this stretch, but the Tampa Bay Lightning picked up their franchise-best 11th win in a row as they took down the Pittsburgh Penguins, 2-1, in a shootout. It was a goaltending battle as Andrei Vasilevskiy picked up his 350th career win by stopping 26-of-27 shots while Arturs Silovs matched him shot-for-shot in regulation with 30 saves.
It was a scoreless first period, something that the Lightning haven’t seen much of recently, but there was...

The Philadelphia Flyers hit the road for a quick two-game trip in Buffalo and Pittsburgh this week. They’re looking to get back on track after suffering two blowout losses to the Tampa Bay Lightning to end a 1-2-1 homestand.
They’re also looking to get a few key players back into the lineup in Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale, who were both injured in last Tuesday’s win against the Ducks.
Drysdale was placed on injured reserve on Friday, retroactive to Tuesday, so he’s eligible to retu...

On January 8th in 2010, a circuit breaker malfunction caused a lighting failure during a Lightning date with the Devils resulting in a 102 minute delay before the NHL postponed play at the Prudential Center for another day.
The teams met again two days later once radiance had been restored at The Rock, picking up where they left off with the Bolts up 3-0 midway through the middle frame. Tampa
This should have such a fun night. The Tampa Bay Lightning picked up their tenth win a row. Jon Cooper won his 600th game as a head coach. Nikita Kucherov rolled off yet another multi-point game (his ninth in a row). Jake Guentzel joined Brandon Hagel and Kucherov in the 20-goal club for the season. The power play scored twice in the 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
Yet, one play casts a lengthy shadow over the win. On his power play goal early in the second period, Brayden Point had...

The Philadelphia Flyers were without a few key players on Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning, and it showed. The team suffered its worst loss of the season, falling 7-2 at home, largely due to an awful effort in the third period.
The Flyers’ previous season-high in goals allowed was five, which happened seven times, but Tampa Bay lit them up a touchdown and an extra point on Saturday night.
It was a particularly rough game for goaltender Sam Ersson. He has been battling t...
The Philadelphia Flyers are currently experiencing a whole lot of injuries and after Saturday night’s 7-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, they need these players back as soon as possible. Travis Konecny missed that terrible experience of a hockey game, but he appeared to be quickly getting back into action as he (as well as recently injured Bobby Brink) returned to practice on Sunday morning.
Well, about that.
Just minutes after Konecny re-joined the group and was taking part in the...

All signs pointed to this being a close game, and it was. Till it wasn’t. Goals by Gage Goncalves and Brandon Hagel just over a minute apart early in the third period turned a close game into a big win for the Lightning as they put seven pucks past Sam Ersson on just 23 shots to start their road trip with a 7-2 win. Goncalves finished with two goals while Nikita Kucherov kept his hot streak going with two goals and two assists.
