Latest news and updates about the Flyers
Flyers general manager Danny Briere finds himself somewhat in no man's land heading into the trade deadline. The club isn't good enough to make the playoffs, but not quite bad enough to bottom out.

*Oooooh baby, we love a big Michkov game around here, and the Flyers marched up to the train station and delivered one. RECAP ! *Travis Konecny, who has seemed to be having a real bad time, emotionally, this season, had accurately diagnosed the Flyers’ problems. It’s good that they can see it from the inside, too. [ BSH ] *The fine folks over at the Inky had a sit down with defense prospect Oliver Bonk about a whole mess of things, and it’s a solid read. Would be cool if we got to se...

The Flyers closed out their pair of back-to-back road games with a trip up to New York to face off against a struggling Rangers team. Coming off of a disappointing loss to the Capitals in last night’s return to action, the Flyers were eager to regroup and find a more positive result to close out the trip. And while it wasn’t the smoothest of complete showings for them, they were able to gut this one out and come away with a big win in overtime. The basics First period: 9:56- Sam Carr...

The Philadelphia Flyers dropped their all-important return to action against the Washington Capitals and now conversations have started once again about how this team might just not be good enough to even think about the playoffs for a while. Whether it is looking at a blue line that lacks a true top defenseman — with all the love to Travis Sanheim — or a forward group that has skill on the flank but the spine is severely lacking any scoring or drive; there just is not a whole lot going o...

The Flyers started their 26-game gauntlet to wrap up the season Wednesday night against the Capitals. It’ was a four-point divisional game against a club who, like Philadelphia, are on the outside looking in regarding a playoff spot. And despite the fact the Flyers have three games in hand on Washington, the team has a batch of clubs they have catch if they want to get a wildcard spot. Or even back in the conversation. Perhaps the one saving grace is that Philadelphia might have a better but n...

*Boy the Flyers sure are back, huh? Watching that exciting, fun hockey game last night it’s like they never left! RECAP ! *So how’d you all like that post-break lineup last night? Interesting, no? [ BSH ] *Matvei Michkov remained on the left side, naturally. Would appear that the coach is fully committed to not playing him where he plays best. [ Inquirer ] *Anyhoo how’s about a feel-good story? Like this one, about how Denver Barkey is inspired by his late grandfather, who was a...

The Flyers returned from their post-Olympic break but fell to the Capitals 3-1. The loss puts the Flyers in a far deeper hole than they were before the break when it comes to their now-slimmer playoff hopes. The basics First period: No scoring Second period: 13:52 – Rasmus Sandin (Hendrix Lapierre, Jakob Chychrun) Third period: 0:29 – Noah Cates (Travis Sanheim, Bobby Brink), 14:08 – Trevor van Riemsdyk (Declan Chisholm, Aliaksei Protas), 19:34 – Aliaksei Protas (Unassisted) (SHG) (E...

We’re back at last! It’s been almost three weeks since we’ve seen the Flyers on the ice for a game, but finally, they’re back at it for the first of two games on the road before they return home again this weekend. It’s an uphill battle they’re facing, and in front of them tonight will be a tough divisional rival (and a team sitting between them and a playoff spot) in the Capitals, and the Flyers will have to find a way to hit the ground running quickly if they want to regain some of the ...

It’s good to be back. The Philadelphia Flyers are actually playing hockey Wednesday night for the first time in 20 days thanks to the NHL’s pause for the 2026 Winter Olympics, as they visit the Washington Capitals. But, what has not been missed is Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet putting out some lineups that are largely questionable. There are several reasons why the lineup that Tocchet unveiled at Wednesday’s morning skate makes almost every single Flyers fan tilt their head and go “Now, ...

*The Flyers are back tonight, for real, as they head on down to Washington, D.C. to take on the Capitals. It’s probably Alex Ovechkin’s last year in the league (maybe, who knows, he could go Full Jagr) and he’s just four goals short of 1,000 for his career. Which is nuts. Here’s that and nine other stories to watch as the league gets back underway tonight. [ NHL ] *You might have forgotten where things stand, playoffs-wise, so thankfully someone decided to give you a little refresher. [ E...

The main storyline that has weaved its way through the entire Philadelphia Flyers season is what is going on with Matvei Michkov. After having a stellar rookie season, the 21-year-old winger has taken a step back in his second NHL season — the reasons why have been spoken about to death, but the main concern among the Flyers fan base is the relationship between the player and head coach Rick Tocchet. Michkov showed up to training camp out of shape, that’s unfortunately a fact, but now the...

The Philadelphia Flyers have found themselves once again in the middle of some trade rumors as we inch closer to the NHL trade deadline. This time it isn’t in a strict teardown with obvious pending free agents that they will likely move, but instead a defenseman who just doesn’t fit the long-term picture and is playing well enough to get attention. Rasmus Ristolainen is riding a high after winning a bronze medal in Milan and after logging big minutes for Team Finland and looking good whil...

The Philadelphia Flyers aren't quite out of the playoff race in the East this season, but they aren't exactly in a great spot coming out of the Olympic break either. The team sits eight points back with one game in hand, but have only won three of their last 10 games, have five teams to jump, and there's interest in at least one of their players that the Flyers would be able to get a solid return for. Anthony Di Marco said, "I've heard five or six teams have checked in on Rasmus Ristolainen ov...

*Let’s all enjoy today, friends. For tomorrow the Philadelphia Flyers will return to action and we will once again be forced to both perceive and contemplate them. Or not care at all; dealer’s choice, really. Anyhoo, Trevor Zegras had a real good time celebrating the Team USA gold from home. NHL players: they’re just like us! [ BSH ] *As the Regular Hockey kicks back off, it presents an opportunity for two Flyers who have absolutely stunk this season to try and turn things around. [ The A...

The Flyers practiced Sunday but had to stop for a few hours to watch (like everyone in Canada) the men’s gold medal game between Team Canada and Team USA. The States came out on top in a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory, but a few Flyers on both sides of the fence spoke about the game itself and their thoughts. Trevor Zegras, who is a friend of the Hughes brothers, including game-winning goal scored Jack Hughes, was riveted to the screen like most people. “Yeah, it was sweet,” Zegras s...

The Philadelphia Flyers are starting to get calls on Rasmus Ristolainen again, and this time the market looks better after a solid performance at the Olympics, where he came away with a Bronze Medal with Team Finland. Up to six teams have checked in on Ristolainen over the past two weeks, according to Flyers' reporter Anthony Di Marco .

The Philadelphia Flyers had limited representatives at the 2026 Winter Olympics. While other teams around the NHL were able to send off their star-level players and see them take charge, wear letters, and score a bunch of points while pundits around the sport praised them on the international stage; the Flyers did not. It was Rasmus Ristolainen serving as a top-four defenseman for Finland and winning a bronze medal thanks to his strong presence on the backend, Dan Vladar being Czechia’s s...

Before the Winter Olympics took place, Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen wasn’t thought to be an important piece of Team Finland’s hopes in terms of competing for a gold medal or even ending up in the medal round. The idea was that he’d have some time to play, look decent at best and hopefully avoid some freak injury and return to Philadelphia in one piece. That was the goal. Anything else would be considered gravy. Well, Flyers general manager Danny Briere might be smiling like the ca...

As we head into the medal matchups in the final games of the Olympics, we’re taking some time to revisit some of the top performances by Flyers players in tournaments past. The research found great success linked Finland and Philadelphia at Olympic games, which bodes well for our defenseman, Rasmus Ristolainen, as he prepares to battle for bronze against Slovakia.

In what was another dominant weekend for the Michigan State Spartans, Porter Martone once again proved why he’s seen as one of the best prospects in college hockey. The freshman winger exploded for four goals across the series, highlighted by a Friday night hat trick that showcased many elements of his toolkit. In the end, Michigan State defeated Notre Dame by a final score of 8-2. The Spartans wasted little time in this one, with Martone setting the tone almost immediately. Just over a m...
