The Montreal Canadiens remain uncertain about the status of Oliver Kapanen for Saturday night’s matchup in Pittsburgh against the Penguins. When asked by the media on Friday about Kapanen’s availability for Saturday’s game, head coach Martin St. Louis gave an honest answer that left speculation as to whether or not the Finnish forward is ready […] The post Status Of Oliver Kapanen Still Uncertain For Saturday vs Penguins appeared first on The Sick Podcast .

Rick Tocchet has ‘no idea’ why the Flyers are off to a sloppy start

The Philadelphia Flyers managed to get a point in the second half of a back-to-back on Thursday night in New Jersey. They were lucky to have Joseph Woll in net, as the goalie helped the Flyers steal a point on the road. It was a better effort on Thursday than the night before, but the bar was on the floor after a historic beatdown in their home opener against the Penguins. After getting outshot 38-19 by the Penguins, the Flyers were once again primarily playing in their own zone against t...

‘He worked his butt off here’: Capitals happy for Hendrix Lapierre’s strong start with Penguins — ‘just not against us’

Hendrix Lapierre’s debut with the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday could not have gone better. In a 7-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, Lapierre registered two points, including his first goal with his new team and a primary assist on an Evgeni Malkin power-play goal. His five-on-five analytics were sterling on the Penguins’ new-look third line.

Could Denver Barkey be the missing piece to the Flyers’ puzzling start?

The Flyers have played six periods (and one overtime session) over two games. They would probably like to forget the first three periods they played against Pittsburgh (as would anyone else remotely associated or interested in the club). The game Thursday night against New Jersey had a slightly different outcome . They earned a point thanks to a solid Philadelphia debut by Joseph Woll, who swallowed up shots like crazy, controlled rebounds perfectly, and kept the Flyers from coming away empty-...

The Penguins new-look defense will get its first big test this weekend

There were a lot of things that went right for the Pittsburgh Penguins in their 2026-27 season opener on Wednesday night. The offense clicked in a 7-0 win with six different goal-scorers, including two from newcomer Nicholas Robertson and one from offseason addition Hendrix Lapierre. Ville Koivunen even delivered early with a slick breakaway goal […]

Pens Points: Lizotte suffers injury as Kindel nears return

Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… Penguins center Blake Lizotte missed practice Thursday while being evaluated for a lower-body injury, just one day after returning from injured reserve in Pittsburgh’s 7-0 season-opening win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Center Ben Kindel, meanwhile, returned to practice in a full-contact jersey and participated in line […]

Friday Morning Fly By: Another heartbreaker

*In case you missed it, the Flyers opened up their regular season on Wednesday night with a loss to the Penguins which all of us and the coaching staff alike can agree was downright embarrassing. [ BSH ] *It was embarrassing! What more can you say! [ The Athletic ] *We have a lot of questions about how exactly that could have gone so sideways for the Flyers, but the Flyers themselves are still sort of looking around for answers. [ PHLY ] *If nothing else, this was a good reminde...

Takeaways: Flyers close out back-to-back with 3-2 overtime loss to Devils

The Flyers closed out their season opening back-to-back on the road against the Devils, and while they were hoping to find a productive response to a gutting loss to the Penguins to open the season, the Flyers couldn’t push their game enough to claw their way to a win. Kept in it well enough to hang around for overtime by some pretty spectacular goaltending from Joseph Woll, things broke again in the wrong way for the Flyers on the way to another disappointing loss. The Basics First ...

Flyers @ Devils: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

The Philadelphia Flyers are playing hockey again (threatening). Just 24 hours after getting embarrassed so badly that you almost have to laugh about it, they are traveling up to New Jersey to face the Devils in a season-opening back-to-back. It is the perfect chance to wipe away that disgusting result against the Penguins and start to maybe get some hope instilled in us again. If they look good tonight, we’ll be willing to never think about 7-0 again. Puck drop:  7:00 p.m. How to wat...

The Flyers just got a brutal reminder that last season means nothing now

The Philadelphia Flyers started off with a bang last night. Sadly, the only fireworks were during the player introductions before the opening faceoff. After looking marginally okay in the opening shifts, and a heavy hit from Rasmus Ristolainen on Sidney Crosby got the crowd into the proceedings, things started to break down a bit. Then a lot. By the end of the evening, the Penguins destroyed the Flyers in every conceivable eye test and analytic . Flyers captain Sean Couturier said the club nee...

Practice update: Lizotte misses with injury, Kindel returns

The Penguins got some mixed news on the injury front on Friday. The team practiced at noon after the big 7-0 road win in Philadelphia last night, minus one of their players. Forward Blake Lizotte, who just came off injured reserve to play last night, is dealing with a lower body injury now, after previously […]

The Flyers Got Whooped in the Season Opener 

Everything was all lined up for the Flyers to make Wednesday a truly excellent Philly sports day. The Phillies won Game 2 of the Wild Card series in dramatic fashion by actually, shockingly, showing some heart and grit. Scott Franzke gave us another classic Franzke call. The Flyers were set to host the Penguins for […] The post The Flyers Got Whooped in the Season Opener  appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Thoughts on: Girard, Robertson, depth and more

Gotta take one more look at last night. Results as good as a 7-0 victory on the road against a rival and team that eliminated the Penguins in the playoffs has to be savored for as long as possible before moving on to the next one. Here’s some areas to highlight about the game worth […]
