Owen Tippett had one of those games. The Philadelphia Flyers winger might not have been on the score sheet a whole lot against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night, but he was all over the ice and showed just how he can take over a game using all the tools he has.
At the end of the night, Tippett scored one goal, an empty netter at that. He added an assist on an extremely pretty goal by Trevor Zegras. And Tippett was third among Flyers forwards with 16:40 ice time, behind Christian ...
The Philadelphia Flyers have long been known for getting under the opposition’s skin. Whether it was players like Travis Konecny or Wayne Simmonds stirring the pot, the Flyers have almost always had someone willing to irritate the other team. This season, that role appears to belong to Nikita Grebenkin.

The Flyers faced the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night in a crucial matchup, with both teams clinging to slim playoff hopes. Heavy hi...
The 2026 Big Ten Hockey Tournament opened Wednesday night with three quarterfinal matchups, including No. 2 seed Michigan hosting No. 7 seed Notre Dame and Flyers prospect Cole Knuble. The Fighting Irish fell the the Wolverines 6-1, and with the loss, it seems likely that Knuble will turn pro in the coming days.
No. 2 Michigan defeats No. 7 Notre Dame
The first period was fairly even, with Notre Dame holding their own despite entering as the underdog. However, it wouldn’t stay that w...
While it isn’t always the most fruitful path, signing undrafted players out of college is certainly one way for NHL teams to inject some talent for absolutely free, into their organization. Sometimes they become Martin St. Louis — or for more modern examples, high-end role players like Avalanche defenseman Sam Malinski or San Jose Sharks forward Collin Graf — and sometimes turn into just everyday professionals who get to start playing hockey for money instead of an education.
For the Phil...

Coming off an embarrassing 6-2 defeat to the New York Rangers on Monday night, the Flyers responded well. It was going to be difficult to play any worse, but nonetheless, Philadelphia trailed yet again ten minutes in. Despite allowing the first goal, as per tradition, the Flyers carried a lead into the third period for the second time in the last 15 games. The Flyers had not held a lead at any point in a game since March 2 in Toronto, where they conceded that lead after just 2:48. They’ve stop...
The Flyers are back in action tonight and ready to kick off the first leg of this midweek back-to-back, and, even more critically, looking to find a way to bounce back from a very tough loss to the Rangers on Monday. They’ll have to get through another divisional rival to do it, as they have a tough Capitals team in front of them, so this won’t be an easy task, but this Flyers team has often flexed their resilience so far this season, and its next test lies ahead.

While the NHL trade deadline has come and gone, that doesn’t mean the transactions are done. As junior leagues and NCAA seasons start to end around the continent, a whole lot of teams are signing their prospects to their first professional contracts and bringing them in to get a much closer look and how they’re developing. The Philadelphia Flyers are one of those teams as they have signed one of their prospects to an entry-level contract after his college season wrapped up.

Emil Andrae, just one year ago, was playing top-four minutes for John Tortorella’s Philadelphia Flyers. It looked like the club might have unlocked a new level for their Swedish defender, until the very moment it stopped. You can almost pinpoint on a calendar when things changed for Andrae– December 20, 2024, the day he was sent back to the AHL.
“It’s gotten too rich for him,” said Tortorella about the demotion. He was pretty clearly told to work on a specific part of his game, and perhap...
The Philadelphia Flyers have been on a roller coaster this past weekend, beating the Pittsburgh Penguins 4–3 in a thrilling shootout victory Saturday night before getting embarrassed at home by the New York Rangers 6-2. Not much has gone right for this team lately, but one positive development has been Matvei Michkov’s shift to the right wing and the effectiveness we’ve seen from the move.
In the wake of the Flyers dealing forward Bobby Brink to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for defensem...

You couldn’t have written a better script for Flyers winger Alex Bump. From missing the initial calls from the Flyers saying he was getting called up for Saturday’s game against Pittsburgh, to scoring his first National Hockey League goal, to getting a paper mask after the game thanks to Nic Desaluriers’ luggage snafu, it was one to remember. It sounds like Bump isn’t going to be one-and-done, or two-and-done if head coach Rick Tocchet’s statements after practice Monday is any measuring stick....
The Philadelphia Flyers (a not-so-good team in the NHL) are hosting the New York Rangers (a bad team in the NHL) on Monday night as we count down the days left in this season. And these two teams aren’t bad and mediocre in an exciting way — so this might be a slog to watch.

The Philadelphia Flyers’ biggest splash at the trade deadline wasn’t selling off a bunch of aging veterans for whatever draft picks they could pry from the hands of the top teams around the NHL — bad news for some fans. But, they took the step to clear up space for potential top-end winger prospects in the future and bet big on a former top draft pick figuring it out in their system.
By bringing in David Jiricek from the Minnesota Wild, they have possibly solve some of their problems on t...
The Philadelphia Flyers are now in the homestretch. The Olympic break is now two weeks in the rearview mirror, and the Flyers have 69 points with 20 games left to be played. It’s not impossible for them to end up in one of the wild card spots in the Eastern Conference or the third seed in the Metropolitan Division. It is a very daunting task, especially for a club through 62 games have not put together a four-game winning streak. And with a few teams ahead of them regardless of the path that t...
Newly acquired Flyers prospect David Jiricek made his Phantoms debut on Saturday, and battled some of the ups and downs of a start on the fly with a new team.
In the aftermath of the 2026 trade deadline, a sizable portion of the Flyers fanbase were puzzled to see Rasmus Ristolainen stick around. Despite the host of trade rumors that swirled around the 31-year old Finnish Olympian, Flyers general manager Daniel Briere stuck to his guns and refused to move Ristolainen for what he believed were inadequate packages.
As the most marquee trade piece available, the lack of a Ristolainen trade caused the Flyers’ deadline to be much quieter than expecte...

Winger Alex Bump made his NHL debut and scored his first goal in a very successful game from the 22-year-old, and defenseman Jamie Drysdale dropped the gloves for the first time every in his hockey career.
It was a beautiful sight. All game long, the Flyers and Penguins were getting into their typical extra cu...
The NHL draft represents the league’s casino for fans and franchises alike. Much like the table games and slot machines lining the floor of a casino, the rounds and pick slots all represent different risk and value propositions to the beholder. Amongst the litany of games where the house has an overwhelming advantage, there are a few opportunities for sharp bettors to capitalize when the odds are right.
In this metaphor, a first round pick is blackjack. Statistically, blackjack is the tab...
Philadelphia Flyers winger Alex Bump played in his first National Hockey League game on Saturday. He took the traditional rookie lap in the pregame warm-up, then in the second scored his first NHL goal in a 4-3 shootout win over Pittsburgh. It was almost a fairytale beginning. But after the game, Bump revealed the happy ending initially could’ve turned into a nightmare of sorts.
The Flyers made the news of Bump’s call-up official on their social media sites at 1 p.m. Eastern Saturday. How...
