Two of the Flyers’ most prized prospects got off to a winning start at the sport’s premier junior hockey showcase, as Canada took down Czechia to kick off their World Junior Hockey Championship.
Porter Martone capped off the win with an empty net goal late in the third period for his only point of the night, but took two penalties, while Jett Luchanko was held off the scoresheet in his sixth WJC game.
The Canadians leaned on Martone in particular as one of their main offensive ...
The Philadelphia Flyers are being represented by six prospects at the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championships in Minnesota this week and the first day was highlighted by Porter Martone being the perfect little agitator in a big win for Canada over Czechia.
It was a tough game for Canada as they faced the very team that caused that entire nation heartbreak a year ago, as they exited the tournament earlier than expected and millions of hockey fans started to question the decision making of tho...
Throughout the World Juniors tournament, we’ll be keeping track of all the action and bringing you all of the results in one place.
Sweden vs. Slovakia
This year’s tournament kicked off with a full slate of action, and it certainly began with some excitement. While it was a bit of a sleepy start to this first game of the day — both teams bringing a nice bit of pace but taking a little bit before they were able to ramp up their shot generation — once they got rolling this was quite a ...
It’s one thing for Yegor Zavragin to get run into or be hit during the ups and downs of a KHL season. But you often expect that to happen primarily in games, and sometimes in practice. However, it’s rare that a goalie who was a backup, sitting on the bench minding his own business, was leveled as badly as Zavragin was in a game Friday.
Zavragin, a third-round pick by Philadelphia in the 2023 NHL Draft, was the backup goalie for SKA St. Petersburg as SKA played against Dinamo Minsk. In the...
It’s that time of year again, folks! Christmas is behind us but the most wonderful time of year still lies ahead — the 2026 World Junior Championship. There’s little better in this hockey season than this facing off of the world’s best under-20 aged talent, and this year’s installment is set to be no different. And on top of that, there will be a lot to be excited about for Flyers fans in particular, as the organization will be represented by a good handful of exciting prospects on some of the...

We here at Broad Street Hockey take poetry very seriously. It is an underappreciated art form. Hence, here is the iconic Christmas poem entitled A Visit from St. Nicholas (otherwise known as Twas the Night Before Christmas). Enjoy!
Twas the night before Christmas,
When all through the Flyers house
Not a creature was stirring,
Gritty bludgeoned the mouse;
The stockings were hung near the “Xbox” with care,
In hopes that St. Nick (Seeler) soon would be there;
Th...
The holiday break is upon us. Time to gather round the Christmas tree, sing yuletide carols, and indulge in some kind of belt-altering feast on Dec. 25. Or for others to endure the relatives and in-laws, look at the clock until it ends, and start taking down all Christmas-related items the following day. Wherever you are on the spectrum, the NHL takes a break. So with the Flyers still knocking on the door in terms of becoming a possible playoff team, let’s look at what each Flyers player deser...
Christmas movies are nice, but sometimes you need something with a little bit more JUICE. There has long been a debate about whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie. That debate is boring as hell at this point. There is no debating that Die Hard is a movie set at Christmas that uses the season for thematic purposes. The Christmas-set action movie is a tried and true tradition, beloved by writers like Shane Black to put a Santa hat on someone wielding a gun and have beautiful white snow sp...
*The Flyers hit the road for their last game before we all get a little holiday reprieve, a 9 p.m. burner over in Chicago. RECAP !

In the final game before the Christmas break and in a second half of a back-to-back, the Flyers went into Chicago and came away with a wire-to-wire 3-1 victory over the Blackhawks. At the tail end of a brutal condensed schedule where the Flyers played 10 games in 17 days, the Flyers now head into the holiday break with the second highest points percentage in the East.
The Basics
First period: 10:17 – Travis Konecny (Trevor Zegras, Sean Couturier) Second period: 11:13 – Noah Ca...
It’s almost break time, folks! The Flyers are closing out their slate of action before the holidays with a quick trip out to Chicago to face off against the Blackhawks. They’re coming off of a huge win over the Canucks last night in their final home game of the year, but the next challenge is still ahead of them: keeping that momentum rolling.

When it was confirmed that Tyson Foerster’s recovery from arm surgery would rule him out for the rest of the season, it dealt a massive blow to the Flyers’ forward depth. Not only had Foerster continued to be one of the best and most consistent two-way forwards on the team, but he was seemingly in the process of taking the next step offensively. Foerster’s pre-injury total of 10 goals remains tied for second on the team with Travis Konecny, even in his absence.
For a team that struggles t...
The holiday season is upon us, and with that Santa’s list to see who has been worthy of gifts and presents under the tree. Or who deserves a lump of coal and a bah humbug! We look at what each Flyer has done so far from October through the Christmas break to figure out which list each player lands on. Here then is Santa’s naughty or nice list: Philadelphia Flyers edition.

The Philadelphia Flyers were very good on this night. After choking on Saturday afternoon, the team rebounded with a great 5-2 victory against Vancouver, including two goals from the fourth line and an empty-netter by Matvei Michkov.

Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet is really sick and tired of answering questions about Matvei Michkov and wants to focus on literally anything else.
Coming into this season, a whole lot of the conversation surrounding this team was just how much the young Russian star could level up his play in his sophomore season. Wondering if he could hit triple digits in points, if he could take his John Tortorella-led teachings and start to care about defense, and all the rest. But when Mi...
The Philadelphia Flyers are simply one of the most uneventful teams in 3-on-3 overtime history.

The Flyers had a difficult week, not due to the caliber of their competition, but because of how the games ultimately played out. Things started well with a 4-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, thanks in part to another quality start from Dan Vladar, which put the Flyers on a five-game point streak. However, the positivity quickly disappeared as the team blew back-to-back games that felt firmly in their control.
Ironically, their first loss of the week came off one of the best starts ...
The Flyers negated a strong 40 minutes and an even stronger debut by Denver Barkey with what essentially was a choke job, losing to the host New York Rangers 5-4 in a shootout and blowing a two-goal lead in the third.

The Philadelphia Flyers have called up goaltender Aleksei Kolosov from Lehigh Valley today while also announcing that center Christian Dvorak and goaltender Dan Vladar won’t be dressed for this afternoon’s game against the host New York Rangers.

The Flyers are chipping away at their remaining slate of action before the holiday break, and closing out a pair of games in the state of New York this afternoon with a matinee matchup against the Rangers. The Flyers are coming off of a tough loss to the Sabres on Thursday, which saw their five game points streak brought to an end. It’s a quicker turnaround here, and the Flyers will be looking to get back on track here and prevent the Rangers from catching them in the standings. We’ll see how ...
The Flyers announced Friday afternoon that they had assigned defenseman Egor Zamula to the Phantoms after he cleared waivers, and with the open roster spot, they called up forward Denver Barkey to step into their forward mix. It’s a chance to get a try out a different mix up front, and also a nice reward for some work well done on Barkey’s part through these first couple of months down with the Phantoms. It’s a little earlier than we might have predicted at the beginning the season, but it’s w...
