Rick Tocchet provides injury update for Flyers’ Nikita Grebenkin

While the team hasn’t made an official announcement, Philadelphia Flyers winger Nikita Grebenkin is out with an injury and will likely not be in the lineup Thursday against the Chicago Blackhawks. “Yeah he’s been dealing with things the last couple of games,” head coach Rick Tocchet said after Wednesday’s practice . “He went to see a doctor today to get some more tests done on him.” When asked the nature of the injury, Tocchet revealed it was upper body and that it was more than like...

‘Very polished player’: Flyers prospect Jack Berglund playing beyond his years in SHL

He still has some time before he’s a full-time member of the Philadelphia Flyers, but for the time being, 2024 second-round draft pick Jack Berglund’s development is heading in the right direction according to his current head coach in the SHL. Cam Abbott, who became Farjestads BK’s head coach in January after the team fired the previous coach, briefly discussed the center’s progress in the relatively short time he’s been coaching the 19-year-old native of Karlstad, Sweden. In an intervie...

How the Flyers can land best draft pick possible from the Maple Leafs

A lot has been made about the misery that the Philadelphia Flyers season has been, but it doesn’t take long to realize that it could be a lot worse. Such as, not having your next two first-round draft picks and potentially sinking your entire organization into a state of mediocrity despite having some of the best players in the world on your hockey team. Famously, the Flyers do own the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 2027 first-round draft pick after somehow convincing them that forward Scott Laught...

Flyers wasted another chance to make playoff push mean something

For a second there, it seemed like everything was breaking their way.  When the Flyers headed into the locker room at the end of the first period, with a 1-0 lead over the Blue Jackets and a host of their competition for playoff spots in the Eastern Conference losing their games at the same time, it seemed like they had all the momentum.  Sean Couturier scored his eighth goal of the year while looking like his old self, and the Flyers largely dominated a period that could h...

Tyrese Maxey joined ‘The Tonight Show’ on Tuesday

The Sixers received some positive national attention for once on Tuesday, as Tyrese Maxey was a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Here are some choice cuts from the good-natured appearance… “Man, I’m getting there. I’m getting there. I’m close,” Maxey says when Fallon asked him about the injured pinky finger that’s kept […]

Wednesday Morning Fly By: Don’t got the juice

*Wasn’t a “must-win” by technical definition, but it was a game the Flyers needed to win to make a statement. The statement being, “hey, we’d really like to make the playoffs. That would be fun.” Instead they, once again, shit the bed against the Blue Jackets. Recap . *Noah Cates had himself a penalty shot last night — didn’t score, sure, but still fun — and that was just a continuation of the very good play we’ve seen from him over the last several games. [ Inquirer ] *Also great la...

Takeaways: Flyers don’t bury chances in first, costs them dearly in 3-2 loss to Columbus

While not mathematically eliminated, the Philadelphia Flyers took a huge step backwards in their playoff hunt, losing to Columbus 3-2 on Tuesday night. It was particularly painful considering how many teams ahead of them (minus the Blue Jackets) lost as well, missing a chance to gain ground on all of them. The basics First period: 17:07- Sean Couturier (Luke Glendening, Rasmus Ristolainen) Second period: 0:44- Mathieu Olivier (Zack Werenski, Damon Severson) 2:28- Zack Werenski (Damon...

Fred Johnson, Eagles agree to one-year contract

The Eagles continue to build their 2026 roster, and now we know that OT Fred Johnson will be part of their plan, after signing a new one-year deal to keep him in Philadelphia. Johnson tested free agency in 2025, and after a brief stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Howie Roseman picked up the phone and […]

Flyers vs Blue Jackets: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

At long last, the Flyers are back from their roadtrip and looking to begin to make some progress in climbing up the standings towards a playoff spot. A successful trip out West had certainly given them a meaningful boost in momentum, but this next matchup against a tough divisional opponent in the Blue Jackets will be a real test for them, as they look to keep that momentum going. Puck drop:  7:00 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: ESPN+/Hulu 📻: 97.5 The Fanatic Pregame reading The ...

Locking up the rotation is a good idea, right?

Cristopher Sanchez will be a member of the Phillies rotation until 2032. Jesus Luzardo is at least under team control until 2032. Aaron Nola will be in Philadelphia until 2030. Zack Wheeler is only under contract for two more seasons including this one. Andrew Painter is under control for six years. The Phillies believe in […]

The 2025-26 Flyers are historically bad at generating shots

If this year’s Flyers team has shown us anything, it’s low-event hockey. The team under the stead of Rick Tocchet has prioritized the prevention of shots against above everything else, and the numbers reflect that reality.  The Flyers have allowed the fourth least shots in the league to this point, less than contenders like the Avalanche, the Stars, and the Lightning. They play a very tight, perimeter game that makes it hard for most teams to truly set up and find open shooting lanes...

There are a number of Philadelphia Eagles connections in the UFL (notably NOT including the outlawed tush push), so, let’s run through those on […]

Sam Ersson’s struggles are hurting the Flyers more than fans realize

A whole lot has been made of the Philadelphia Flyers’ goaltending situation over the last few seasons. And while the team have been trying to develop a young Sam Ersson into someone capable of handling an NHL crease in any way possible, the evidence is truly growing to the conclusion that he’s not up to snuff. Potentially ruining the Flyers’ entire season might play a big part in it. The Flyers gave Ersson, what feels like now, a final chance this summer. They signed the older and more ex...

NFL Draft 2026: Eagles have 9 picks one month out

We are one month away from the 2026 NFL Draft, and free agency moves and trades are still affecting the Philadelphia Eagles haul of picks. Following the team’s latest round of moves, Howie Roseman currently has nine draft picks to work with, and that number will assuredly change the closer we get to the main […]

Jared McCain remains a good guy to have on your team

It was well after 10 Monday night, well after Jared McCain’s new team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, had beaten his old one, the 76ers. And still McCain, in street clothes by then, lingered in Xfinity Mobile Arena’s lower stands, visiting with friends. A handful of people hovered about the place. Workers folded up chairs and pulled […]

Do you buy in to Bryson Stott’s improvement?

Bryson Stott had himself a productive spring this year. The Phillies second baseman hit .366 with a 1.072 OPS across 16 Grapefruit League appearances. Spring training stats are not a surefire precursor to a successful season, but in this particular case, Stott’s success continues a trend of improved hitting dating back to last season. Stott […]

Tuesday Morning Fly By: It’s a big test, again

*The Flyers play the Blue Jackets for the second time in as many weeks tonight, a team with whom they are in direct competition for a playoff spot. Ten days ago, they absolutely blew it. Tonight, they gotta get out there and prove they’re a team that wants to play past April. Time to nut up or shut up, boys. [ BSH ] *Anyhoo, got a bit of news yesterday as the Flyers signed another one of their prospects to his ELC. [ BSH ] *You may have noticed, over the weekend, that Owen T...
