What a week, huh? The Philadelphia Flyers played four games and lost all of them in regulation, extending the losing streak to six games. Now they’re headed on a road trip against some of the toughest teams in the Western Conference, and it’s easy to envision the losing streak hitting nine by week’s end. If we could award stars to you, dear reader, we would, because that was a miserable week of hockey to witness.
But! Before we get to all that, we have to reflect on last week’s games and ...

The Philadelphia Flyers are by far not the strongest team at the center position, but they are trying to work with what they got. Part of that is, according to head coach Rick Tocchet, managing captain Sean Couturier’s workload so that he can be as effective as possible.
Heading into this season, the Flyers added Christian Dvorak to their center depth, but they still are sorely lacking quality high-end players down the middle. Noah Cates has done an admirable job trying to resolve the iss...

When the Philadelphia Flyers acquired Trevor Zegras from the Anaheim Ducks in June of 2025, they weren’t sure what version of Zegras would arrive. After tumultuous contract negotiations with Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek, the cover co-star of EA Sports’ NHL 2023 was badly in need of a change of scenery. In his first season in Flyers orange, Zegras has found his game, scoring at a near point-per-game pace, and rekindled his love for hockey. Soon, he’ll need a new deal with the orange and bl...

Many times, an NHL season comes to be defined by the dominance of a select group. Sometimes, it’s the Year of the Goaltenders. Others, it might be the snipers who take over. In the first half, this looked like it would be a changing of the guard season . But now, a new contender emerges. Hockey fans, welcome to the Year of the PR Department Statement. It started last week, when the Senators declared war on the trolls and sick people . This week, it was the Ranger, doing what they do best: Writ...

The Philadelphia Flyers are officially in a rut. It’s no longer a slide, a skid, or simply being stuck in the mud. They are firmly in that mud and face an uphill battle to get out of it.
While there are plenty of areas that need improvement, goaltending is in the spotlight. Dan Vladar is out for at least the next few games, and even when he does return, the Flyers aren’t going to want to run the risk of wearing him down. Sam Ersson built some confidence in relief on Saturday, allowing 3 g...

*Folks… things are not going great around here. The Flyers got effectively walloped by the Rangers, who more or less threw in the towel on their season last week, and the losing streak has stretched to six games. Do you want to relive that game? No? We have a recap anyway. [ BSH ]

The Flyers have been struck again by the injury bug. With Rodrigo Abols taking an injury in yesterday afternoon’s game against the Rangers and the prognosis immediately not looking so good , the time came again for the Flyers to dip into the well of options from the AHL squad to bring into the mix to help fill that role centering the fourth line.
For this, veteran centerman Lane Pederson was given the nod. Pederson has spent the better part of this season centering the Phantoms’ top line,...

With the news made official today that the Flyers have placed defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen on Injured Reserve with an upper-body injury, and his timeline for return remaining a bit murky, the decision was made to bring up some reinforcements from the AHL, as their current mix on defense hasn’t really been cutting it. In the corresponding move to Ristolainen’s IR placement, the Flyers announced Saturday evening that they’ve recalled Hunter McDonald from the Phantoms.
And the choice to rec...

The Philadelphia Flyers had an opportunity to get back on track at home on Saturday afternoon. Following a five-game losing streak that saw a combination of injuries, tough opponents, and scheduled losses pile up, a home matinee against the worst team in the Eastern Conference seemed like the chance to right the ship.
We wrote on Friday afternoon that the Flyers needed to beat the Rangers to avoid full-on panic mode . Hell, a decent effort in a loss would’ve been palatable after a few str...

Rasmus Ristolainen has revitalized his career with the Philadelphia Flyers, as the Finnish Olympian was able to first rebuild his game under former Flyers assistant coach Brad Shaw. Unfortunately, he’s had a great deal of trouble staying on the ice for extended periods of time.
The injury history
In the last three seasons, Ristolainen has missed 104 games out of a possible 211 thus far. That number will only creep higher as it was announced he will not be joining the team on their up...

On a snowy Saturday afternoon, the Flyers lost their sixth game in a row, falling 6-3 to the Rangers. Bad goaltending, bad defensive structure, and bad special teams were again the story, and the Flyers remain in free fall.
The basics
First period: 6:22 – Travis Konecny (Trevor Zegras, Travis Sanheim), 7:05 – Artemi Panarin (Vincent Trocheck, Alexis Lafreniere), 7:26 – Mika Zibanejad (JT Miller, Braden Schneider), 8:25 – Brennan Othmann (Will Cuylle) Second period: 5:38 – Zibanejad ...

The Philadelphia Flyers are without yet another player as center Rodrigo Abols had to exit Saturday afternoon’s game against the New York Rangers after a devastating and nasty-looking injury to his leg.
During the first period of this fairly important game against the division rivals, Abols went into a board battle for a loose puck with Rangers winger Gabe Perreault. Initially, it looked like a fairly harmless play but as the Flyers centerman turned around, it appears that the toe of his ...

The Philadelphia Flyers are back home for exactly one game and it just so happens to be a fairly big one. The New York Rangers front office had to write their fans a letter for the second time and this is the first game where the team have the opportunity to respond. And, well, the Flyers have issues of their own with a hefty losing streak. Should be a, well, interesting one?

The Philadelphia Flyers were a resilient team in the first half of the season.
Through their first 41 games, the Flyers only lost consecutive games five times, and only one time were those back-to-back losses in regulation. Their longest losing streak was three games, but they earned a point in each of those losses against top teams in the Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes.
So when the Flyers dominated the Ducks again in a Trevor Zegras revenge game to end the first half o...

The Flyers closed out their quick road trip last night in Pittsburgh, and the closed it out with something of a whimper, delivering another largely disorganized showing on the way to a 6-3 loss and an extension of their losing streak to five games. It was a game from which there were not a lot of positives to pull, but the sure exception to that was the play of Denver Barkey. Coming off of his first healthy scratching of the season — the first of his professional career — all eyes were turned ...

From where we are right now, the Philadelphia Flyers’ season is one that has given us a lot of hope but at the same time, the same old problems have bubbled up to the surface to give us the most sour taste in our mouths. Some promise, something to look forward to as some players progress, but then things about this team that fans have been complaining about for decades, are still extremely present.
As it stands it shouldn’t be considered a step back or even the status quo, but a slight st...

When the Philadelphia Flyers announced they had signed Christian Dvorak to a five-year extension, questions surfaced immediately. Why commit to that amount of term? Can Dvorak realistically sustain this level of play? What does the deal mean for the center prospects in the organization? Yet one question stands out, particularly in light of recent developments. Why now?
Dvorak, who will turn 30 in a few weeks, is in the midst of the most productive season of his ten-year career. After sign...
