As the Flyers keep their head above water in the tightly-packed Metropolitan Division, a lot of the defensive play has centered on a new concept. Namely, not blocking every shot every shift which former coach John Tortorella preached ad nauseam.
Rick Tocchet still wants players to block shots, but it’s not the end all and be all of the team’s success in their own end. It looks more like a Plan C or D option to prevent the other team from scoring. Tocchet is relying on lanes being cleared ...

Philadelphia Flyers star youngster Matvei Michkov is finally looking like himself on the ice. After a rough start to his season caused by a setback in his offseason training and just not being up to full speed, the 20-year-old has now scored two goals in his last two games. And that includes a beautiful tally that he netted against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday afternoon.
But it isn’t always sunshine and rainbows as he returns to looking like the dominant force that he was for the major...

The Philadelphia Flyers are relying heavily on Matvei Michkov panning out to be a very good player that could even flirt with stardom and be the best player on their team going forward. But unfortunately to start this season, he has played extremely poorly. Concerns about a sophomore slump has only been accented as the season has gone on and we’ve been trying to look for signs of last year’s rookie sensation still on the ice.
Michkov looked slow and not just in his skating but thinking th...

After a quick two-game road trip during the week, the Flyers are back on home ice for a matinee matchup against the Senators.

The Philadelphia Flyers were able to overcome a fairly bad game by their standards and still sneak out with the full two points against the Nashville Predators in Thursday night’s 3-1 win on the road. It was sunshine and rainbows for the visitors — Matvei Michkov scored his first goal in 10 games, Travis Konecny got on the stat sheet, Cam York and Noah Cates continued their excellent seasons — but over on the other side of the ice it was pure misery and distain.
It was a loss that was so ...

*The Philadelphia Flyers won the hockey game. Matvei Michkov finally scored a second goal. And Travis Konecny scored a goal too. Sometimes, things are good. RECAP !
*Obviously heading into this season there was a ton of focus on the Flyers’ urgent need to improve their power play. So far, they’ve done it! But they’ve also REALLY improved the penalty kill. A lot. [ BSH ]
*Speaking of improvement, turns out all of those folks yelling about putting Cam York on the power play over the la...

Coming off of a gutsy shootout win on Tuesday in Montreal, the Flyers wrapped up their quick little road trip in Nashville tonight, and it was another strange game, but one which amounted to another big win for them. Bookended by pretty meaningful goals for Matvei Michkov and Travis Konecny, the Flyers delivered another bend-but-don’t-break type of game, coming away with a 3-1 win and a sweep of the road trip.

The Philadelphia Flyers are coming off one of the most exciting games of their young season after winning and losing and then winning again against the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre. And because of that powerful performance, head coach Rick Tocchet is going with the same lineup — an untouched roster to hopefully get another two points over the Nashville Predators.
The last time these two teams met in this season was just a week ago and the Flyers earned a 4-1 win thanks to two goa...

There is no other prospect in the Philadelphia Flyers system that needed to show that they belonged than Denver Barkey. The winger with all the motor in the world was able to play a prominent role on a dominant London Knights team in the OHL, but that was junior hockey. Barkey needed to make himself known within the first few weeks of turning pro and lacing up for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
There were questions coming into this year. We have seen it so often that a player with Barkey’s 5...

The Philadelphia Flyers have to be extremely pleased with the trade that brought Trevor Zegras to their team. It has paid off in a huge way so far, even if it is just 13 games into the season. He is leading the Flyers by a wide margin with 15 points already, and has four goals to go with that. Zegras has fit in from the first game and the Flyers are 7-5-1 on the season. To put it into perspective how much this change has helped Zegras, he had six goals and 15 points in 31 games two seasons ago...

The Philadelphia Flyers are a team to watch for an early season trade, as forward Owen Tippett's name has hit the trade rumor mill. Several reports have surfaced stating they could see Tippett being moved by the Flyers, as this is the final year of his contract in which he doesn't hold any trade protection. Tippett is off to a so-so start, scoring five goals and one assist in his first 13 games. He's owed $6.2 million through the 2032 season, and considering the cap is going way up the next fe...

Trevor Zegras once again played a big part in a Philadelphia Flyers victory on Tuesday night. He had two power-play assists in the first period to put the team up 3-0, and came through in the shootout to help secure the victory.
Zegras is now up to 15 points (4 goals, 11 assists) in his first 13 games with the Flyers, proving to be a great offseason addition for Danny Briere & Co.
The 24-year-old forward needed a change of scenery, and he’s making the most of it in Philadelphia.
