After a slow start to the season following the departure of Mitch Marner, the Toronto Maple Leafs have started to kick their season into gear. With Auston Matthews finally beginning to hit his stride and Craig Berube once again whipping a team into shape as they enter the second half, just like he did in St. Louis, things are now looking positive for a team who was in major flux just a month prior. And a lot of that success has come off the back of their elite goaltending. The tande...

Philadelphia Flyers goaltending has officially reached a tipping point, and Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff reports the club is now considering trade market alternatives if Samuel Ersson’s slide keeps costing them points. Ersson’s numbers have been rough over a two year sample, and this season has dipped to an .858 save percentage with a 3.33 goals against average. With the Flyers sitting in the thick of the playoff race, they cannot afford many more nights where the margin disap...

*Yikes, folks. Things are looking pretty ugly at the moment. Real ugly. Last night’s game was a doozy. RECAP ! *You may have noticed that we got a guy back last night! And as a result, before the game, Ricky Taco went berzerk on the lines. [ BSH ] *You may have also noticed that Denver Barkey was a healthy scratch. After that news came out, Tocchet explained himself. [ BSH ] *It’s great the team is getting healthy again, but the boys have a lot of things to try and figure out on...

Things have gone from bad to worse to catastrophic for the Philadelphia Flyers. Jamie Drysdale returned from injury on Wednesday night, and it looked like we’d see some new pairs as well. However, after taking part in the morning skate on the top pair with Travis Sanheim, Rasmus Ristolainen was a late scratch in Buffalo due to an upper-body injury. Injury update: Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (upper-body injury) is day-to-day and will be unavailable for tonight’s #PHIvsBUF mat...

After a tough end to the Flyers’ run of home games over the last week with two pretty brutal losses to the Lightning, the Flyers will be looking for something of a reset as they head out on the road for a quick back-to-back before heading back home on Saturday. Of course, it’s not going to be an easy task for them, as they’re set to face off against a red-hot Sabres team this evening, but here’s hoping that with a few more pieces looking like they could be back in the lineup for them tonight, ...

Flyers forward Denver Barkey is slated to sit out Wednesday as the Flyers take on the red-hot Buffalo Sabres in a clash between two playoff hopefuls. During media availability on Wednesday afternoon, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet confirmed that young forward, Denver Barkey, will be sitting in the rafters as the puck in dropped in Buffalo. Barkey, who has played eleven games for the Flyers this season, is sitting out for the first time since his call-up in mid December. In that time, the ...

The Philadelphia Flyers hit the road looking to get back on track after two blowout losses against the Tampa Bay Lightning to end a four-game homestand. Philadelphia has now lost three games in a row, going back to the overtime defeat against Toronto, and could be staring a five-game losing streak in the face if they lose tonight, as they’re just 2-3-1 in the second half of back-to-backs this season. The Flyers did get some good news on Wednesday morning, though, with defenseman Jamie Dry...

The Philadelphia Flyers prospect pool is filled with a bunch of young talent who could steadily make their way up the developmental ladder to end up being impact players in the NHL. That’s the hope, anyway. This week, though, two specific Flyers prospects decided to change up where they were playing to give them a better chance at doing exactly that. After all, if a player is stuck in a bad situation with a poor scoring environment or on a team who just can’t help but be terrible defensiv...

On Saturday night, against the red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning, the Philadelphia Flyers aspired to take two points. Or at least get a loser point from the formidable foe. They were playing them again on Monday night for an oddly slated two-game miniseries with both games at Xfinity Mobile Arena. But after giving up the first goal to a wide-open Nikita Kucherov less than two minutes in, Philadelphia’s Garnet Hathaway’s first of the year tied things up. After that, Ersson should’ve settled down. Sho...

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: The Philadelphia Flyers have a goaltending problem. Coming into the season, the plan was for incumbent starter Samuel Ersson and free-agent signing Daniel Vladar to compete for starts and split time in the crease. It seemed like a fine plan at the time. Ersson had shown flashes of potential to be a solid NHL goalie, most notably from his 14-8-2 stretch with a .917 save percentage from November 2023 to February 2024, before fatigue set in and he, l...

The Philadelphia Flyers hit the road for a quick two-game trip in Buffalo and Pittsburgh this week. They’re looking to get back on track after suffering two blowout losses to the Tampa Bay Lightning to end a 1-2-1 homestand. They’re also looking to get a few key players back into the lineup in Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale, who were both injured in last Tuesday’s win against the Ducks. Drysdale was placed on injured reserve on Friday, retroactive to Tuesday, so he’s eligible to retu...

With Jamie Drysdale set to miss time and the Flyers power play already sitting at a fledgling 15.0%, tied for 31st in the league, nothing has gone right for the man advantage unit. Regardless of personnel, tactics, or the heroics of Trevor Zegras, the Flyers’ power play has once again been an anchor around the neck of a team that has been pretty damn good at even strength and on the penalty kill. Zegras is the only player to have double digits points on the power play, and his six goals ...

With the NHL trade deadline looming in the coming weeks, could the Flyers look to move on from 24-year-old forward Bobby Brink? Brink has had a solid season so far, tallying 11 goals and nine assists over 41 games, but could the Flyers look to move on from the young forward? As we all know, the Flyers have a logjam at wing. It has long been a position of strength for the Flyers. It has continued to grow in strength with the additions of center/winger hybrid Trevor Zegras – who is currentl...

This should have such a fun night. The Tampa Bay Lightning picked up their tenth win a row. Jon Cooper won his 600th game as a head coach. Nikita Kucherov rolled off yet another multi-point game (his ninth in a row). Jake Guentzel joined Brandon Hagel and Kucherov in the 20-goal club for the season. The power play scored twice in the 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Yet, one play casts a lengthy shadow over the win. On his power play goal early in the second period, Brayden Point had...

Things were starting to cook for the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second game against the Philadelphia Flyers in three nights. After they made it through a tight-checking first period with a 1-0 lead thanks to an early goal by Pontus Holmberg, they doubled the lead just 30 seconds into the second period when Jake Guentzel deflected home a shot from Erik Cernak. Four minutes later, Brayden Point swatted home a rebound on the power play and it appeared the rout was on for the second game in a...
