*Back at it tonight against the other Florida team, but with one single day off there was nothing to do but to turn the flames up on these Quinn Hughes rumors. Everybody is talking about the Canucks and what deal they’re likely to make. [ TSN ]
*Naturally all of the Insiders™ came out to say that They’re Hearing that the Flyers are interested in a potential trade for Hughes. Much like the other 30 teams in the league, the Flyers are almost certainly interested in acquiring arguably the le...
The Canadian Thanksgiving was last month, but this week marks the annual Thanksgiving in the U.S. A day marked with family (some of whom you don’t care for), turkey (leftovers of which you don’t care for), and plenty of NFL football (many of the teams you don’t care for). So on this holiday for reflection and appreciation, let’s see what each Flyer player has to be thankful for this season thus far. Some have a bit more to be grateful for than others, but everyone should be looking at the glas...
One of the best defensemen in this era of the NHL is potentially going to be traded and the Philadelphia Flyers are one of the teams who are expected to have some interest.
Quinn Hughes has planted himself at the top of the pile of blueliners across the world and for the Vancouver Canucks, has been a major difference-maker ever since he stepped foot onto the ice at Rogers Arena. But with the team going nowhere but mediocrity and Hughes’s upcoming unrestricted free agency status in 2027, t...
For the entirety of his OHL career, Philadelphia Flyers prospect Jett Luchanko has played on a team that did not surround him with the requisite talent to compete at a high level. This week that changed.
Luchanko has started off strong overall back in the Canadian junior ranks, with 17 points in his first 11 games. However, he’s only scored twice, and his now former team the Guelph Storm still sit seventh in the OHL’s Western Conference. It was shaping up to be another fruitless year for ...
*Kinda wild that the Flyers haven’t been shut out this season until last night, given this team’s scoring woes. Anyhoo, gotta score if you’re going to win. RECAP !
*Big news yesterday! Jett Luchanko’s long regional nightmare is over and he has been traded from the Guelph Storm. [ BSH ]
*His new team has a coach that the Flyers know very well, which you’d assume the organization likes. [ NBC Sports Philly ]
*Alright so what’s this mean for our speedy young boy who is allergic to ...
After a pretty exciting week, the Flyers went to Tampa and left without a goal. Brandon Hagel was the star of the game with two goals and an assist, while Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped all 20 shots fired his direction. A sluggish start lingered well beyond the first period, with the Flyers never really finding their offensive game. In the end, the Flyers left Tampa Bay with a 3-0 loss.
The basics
First period: 15:34 – Brandon Hagel (Emil Lilleberg, Nikita Kucherov) Second period: ...
The Philadelphia Flyers have been kicking it back and after a lengthy break, they earned two fairly solid wins against the St. Louis Blues and the New Jersey Devils last week. Now, to kick off this road trip they are down in Florida facing a fairly ravaged Tampa Bay Lightning squad.

It has nothing at all to do with the upcoming game but Flyers prospect Jett Luchanko was traded in ...
It’s been another busy week of action in the books for the Phantoms, and after kicking off their week with a big win on home ice against a high-powered Rochester team (holding the top scoring offense in the league to just two goals), they took their show on the road for a pair of games against Providence and Hartford on the weekend. That weekend back-to-back ended in a split, with a strong response game pulled together against the Wolf Pack after a tough loss to the Bruins on Friday, bringing ...
It’s something so many fans have been clamoring for, to watch one of the top Philadelphia Flyers prospects in a more exciting and offensively charged environment on a much better team. And, well, it finally happened.
According to Jeff Marek, the Guelph Storm have traded Flyers prospect Jett Luchanko to the powerhouse Brantford Bulldogs in the OHL. Luchanko goes from needing to be the main offensive driver on a playoff bubble team in junior hockey, to possibly the best team in the entire C...
*What a weekend it’s been! When we last spoke, the Flyers were coming off a big win over the Blues, wherein they put together a much improved start to the game, all things considered. [ BSH ]
*Friday also brought us the news that the Flyers might just be looking to upgrade their center situation. [ BSH ]
*Friday, even more importantly, saw the Flyers paying tribute to the late great Bernie Parent. [ Inquirer ]
*That tribute would continue into Saturday’s game, which was in other...
Coming off of a big win over the Blues on Thursday, a game which got the Flyers going again after a four-day layoff, they were back in action last night with a much more challenging task ahead of them — taking down a much tougher (at least as far as place in the standings is concerned) divisional opponent as the Devils came to town. This was another game which could have gone sideways quickly on the Flyers, as they again gave up an early goal, but instead of getting down, they managed not just...
Matvei Michkov was still supposed to be playing in the KHL this season. At least, that was the expectation for him when the Flyers drafted him in the first round (seventh overall) in the 2023 NHL Draft. There was speculation he could possibly get across the pond a year earlier than expected if the KHL team he was playing for let him go and released him prior to his contract ending. But the Flyers brass were there front and center when Michkov arrived in the U.S. He was here to start his career...
With just two games on the schedule, it looked as if this might be a bit of a quiet week for the Flyers. But boy was that not the case. Dan Vladar bounced back in a big way after a tough outing in Dallas, they made history with three quick goals, and they may have found a new defensive pairing. With an overtime win against St. Louis and a regulation win — yes, a regulation win — against New Jersey, they finished the week with a perfect 2-0 record. With that, let’s take a look at the standouts....
The Flyers scored three goals in 26 seconds, scored a season-high six goals (all at even-strength), and registered their fifth win in regulation with a convincing 6-3 victory over visiting New Jersey on Saturday night.
The basics
First period: 7:37 – Timo Meier (Jesper Bratt, Nico Hischier) (PPG), 9:00 – Noah Cates (Unassisted), 12:06 – Matvei Michkov (Sean Couturier), 12:15 – Tyson Foerster (Noah Cates, Travis Konecny), 12:32 – Tyson Foerster (Noah Cates, Nick Seeler) Second period:...
The Flyers made history against New Jersey tonight, unleashing a flurry of three goals in 26 seconds to break a franchise record, and turn what was a tied game into a lopsided contest.
Midway through the first period, Sean Couturier won a puck battle along the wall and delivered a pass to Matvei Michkov that sprung the Russian phenom on a breakaway from the blue line. That then allowed Michkov to finish coolly through the five-hole of Jake Allen, and start the oncoming barrage with 7:54 ...
After a big win over the Blues on Thursday to get things rolling again after their long break, the Flyers are back in action tonight with a much more difficult task on their hands — keeping their positive momentum rolling against a much hotter visiting Devils team.

The rumor mill continues to turn, and the most recent word is that the Flyers might just be in the market to bolster their mix ...
The Michigan State Spartans entered Friday night’s contest against the Wisconsin Badgers riding a nine-game winning streak and a perfect in-conference record. Up two early and seemingly in control, a rough second period forced the Spartans to chase the game. While their comeback bid fell short, and their winning streak may have ultimately come to an end last night, not all was lost. Before things turned sour, two members of the Philadelphia Flyers’ 2025 draft class combined for a pretty sweet ...
When the Flyers take on New Jersey Saturday night, they will be playing their twentieth game of the season. The quarter pole is often a decent sample size of where a team is at or, more importantly, where it isn’t. Philadelphia still isn’t looking for its first win of the year, so that’s a good thing. Some might argue facetiously they’re still seeking their first five-on-five goal but they’ve done that too. Not a lot, but they’ve reached that achievement. The Flyers still haven’t been shutout ...
The Philadelphia Flyers season has gone surprisingly well. The new additions to the roster are doing their part and contributing to a team that finds themselves in a playoff spot by points percentage, and there are some internal improvements that are thankfully compensating enough for some disappointments elsehwere.
We don’t need to get into all that. But, it means that the Flyers are actually icing a somewhat competitive roster and there isn’t the creeping thought in the back of our head...
The Philadelphia Flyers have held pretty steady in their defensive pairs this season.
Cam York and Travis Sanheim are holding things down on the top pair, with Nick Seeler and Jamie Drysdale primarily playing together as the second pair. That’s left Noah Juulsen, Emil Andrae, Egor Zamula, and Adam Ginning to rotate in on the third pair.
Each of those top two pairs has played over 220 minutes together at 5-on-5, per MoneyPuck, and it appeared as if the new third pair was going to stic...
For the first time in four days, since the close of their back-to-back last weekend on the road, the Flyers were back in action last night, looking to pull off a sweep of the season series with the Blues and quickly begin to gain back some of the ground that they lost in the standings while they were sitting with their long layoff. It was going to be a bit of an uphill battle — four days, even with practice time mixed in, is a lot of days to be off collectively — but the Flyers responded prett...
*Oh wow, the Flyers went to overtime against the Blues last night. That’s wild. Who could have predicted? Anyway who cares, they won! Recap !

You’ll never believe it, but Thursday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena, the Philadelphia Flyers had yet another game go to overtime. They’ve struggled in overtime as of late, but thanks to a clutch play from their No. 1 defenseman, the Flyers pulled off a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues in dramatic fashion.
The Basics
First period: 5:31 — Justin Faulk (Oskar Sundqvist, Nathan Walker), 12:08 — Faulk (Jake Neighbours, Jordan Kyrou) Second period: 17:57 — Rodrigo Abols (Owen Tippett...
Folks, we are finally back in action. We last saw the Flyers what feels like ages ago, but was actually just on Saturday, when they closed out their back-to-back on the road with a loss to the Stars. It was a tough one, especially coming on the heels of a pretty good win the night before over the Blues (those same Blues who are in town tonight and will be looking to find a bit of revenge and avoid being swept in the season series). It’s been a long layoff for the Flyers, but the hope is that t...
It’s not that often that fans of the Philadelphia Flyers care so much about the comings and goings of the Ontario Hockey League, unless they reside in the province of Ontario, but this year is different with top prospect Jett Luchanko being such a hot topic as of late.
Ever since the Flyers sent the 19-year-old center back to the OHL’s Guelph Storm after not being able to carve out a full-time role other than being a fourth-line pivot, there have been countless rumors of a potential trade...
