3 biggest surprises and disappointments for Flyers at halfway point

The Philadelphia Flyers are halfway through the 2025-26 season. They have 22 wins through the first 41 games. Last season it took them 48 games to get their twenty-second win. So far, they’ve probably exceeded the expectations of even the most hopeful fan, despite having a terrible power play, giving up the first goal far more often than not, and relying on a goaltender who played all of 30 games last year. Having said all that, there have been some surprises over the first half. And there’s b...

Michkov teaches Barkey how to score Michigan goal after Flyers practice

Matvei Michkov missed Tuesday’s game against Anaheim with an injured foot. But on Wednesday he took the optional skate with fellow Flyers winger Denver Barkey. And while the duo got some work and reps in, Michkov took it upon himself to teach Barkey how to execute a “Michigan.” The three-minute video clip, shot from just behind one of the nets, sees Barkey and Michkov taking a few shots each into the empty net. But about 15 seconds into the clip, Michkov attempts a “Michigan,” roofing the...

Ducks’ multiple dirty hits on Flyers go unpunished

The Philadelphia Flyers took down the Anaheim Ducks inside a raucous arena in South Philadelphia on Tuesday night. Cutter Gauthier opened the scoring, but Trevor Zegras and the Flyers got the last laugh in a 5-2 win. Unfortunately, the Flyers didn’t come away from the game unscathed, with both Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale leaving due to injury after a pair of questionable — at best — hits. The hit by Jansen Harkins on Brink may have been clean, but the shorter forward got hit up hi...

6 Flyers call-up candidates to replace injured Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale

Despite the ultimate outcome, last night was a tough one for the Flyers. Coming away with a big win over a budding rival is a big positive, but with it came the loss of both Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale to injury. Now, there’s no word just yet on the severity of these injuries or on whether they’ll mean that either of them will miss significant time. All we can say at the moment is that the initial impressions were not great, particularly with Drysdale, and it feels like an apt time to check...

Today In NHL History - FSN Hides Video Replay

On January 7th in 2010, FSN Pittsburgh producer Lowell MacDonald Jr. withheld a definitive replay from the NHL during a late second period Simon Gagne goal review. Absent the authoritative angle officials deemed the video evidence inconclusive and ruled no goal. After play resumed, prohibiting a reversal of the incorrect call, the angle was aired making clear that the Philadelphia Flyers should

Where Flyers’ playoff chances stand after 41 games

After Tuesday night’s 5-2 win over the Ducks, the Flyers sit in third place in the Metropolitan Division with 51 points in 41 games thus far. With a 22-12-7 record, the Flyers are on a 102-point pace — a pretty remarkable pace considering the preseason expectations of this team. Their point percentage of .621 is good for third in the entire Eastern Conference, and sixth in the entire National Hockey League.  The teams ahead of them? Colorado, Dallas, Minnesota, Tampa Bay, and Carolina. Al...

Trevor Zegras torches Ducks in revenge game as Flyers dominate

Everything was set up perfectly and Trevor Zegras took full advantage. As his former team, the Anaheim Ducks, made their way to Philadelphia to face the Flyers, multiple things were in place for the star forward to get some revenge against the team that gave up on him before he even reached his prime. The Ducks were heavily limping as they entered the doors of the Xfinity Mobile Arena. Before Tuesday night, they lost their last six straight games and last earned a win all the way back on ...

Takeaways: Zegras scores a pair, Flyers lose a pair to injury but defeat Anaheim 5-2

Flyers’ Bobby Brink, Jamie Drysdale exit game after two dirty hits

The first half of the Philadelphia Flyers hosting the Anaheim Ducks had all the drama you could hope for, and then some. Unfortunately, it also involved two Flyers players having to leave the game early after suffering some brutal and dirty hits from the Ducks. Cutter Gauthier opened the scoring but ever so quickly it was Trevor Zegras that popped in two quick goals (from the same spot in the zone) to shift the game in the home team’s favor and get us feeling oh so good again. But that’s ...

Is Denver Barkey sticking with Flyers for rest of the season?

One guy wasn’t expected to get the call up this early in the regular season. The other wasn’t even in the conversation until he arrived and Ryan Ellis and his contract went West. But at nearly the halfway point of the 2025-26 season, the Philadelphia Flyers are getting important contributions across the board. And two players have been recent bright spots: youngster Denver Barkey and journeyman Carl Grundstrom. Assuming both are in the lineup against Anaheim, Barkey will be playing his eighth ...

Instead of searching for another Christian Dvorak, Flyers settle for good enough

When the Flyers initially signed Christian Dvorak to a one-year, $5.4-million contract last offseason, the justification was that the high price was a trade-off in order to avoid having to give Dvorak any sort of long-term guarantees. It would allow the Flyers to be flexible at the deadline and with their future plans without having to factor in multiple years of Dvorak’s cap hit, which would have been somewhere closer to $4 million on a longer deal.  It was a bet on a high floor, low cei...

What the Flyers’ Christian Dvorak extension means for Jett Luchanko

With the five-year extension of Christian Dvorak , there’s lots of things to think about in terms of the Flyers’ organizational vision of the next great Flyers team. What does it mean for Trevor Zegras? What does it mean for the Flyers view of the free agent and trade markets?

Why extending Christian Dvorak is Danny Briere’s first bad move as Flyers GM

The Christian Dvorak Era in Philadelphia is here to stay, for better or — more likely — for worse. Rumors have been swirling for weeks surrounding Dvorak’s potential next contract with the Flyers, and it never seemed like a great idea to extend the forward. When it started gaining traction as a five-year deal? It got even worse. And just as quickly as fans could start panicking about the report, the Flyers made it official, signing Dvorak to a five-year extension with a cap hit of $5...
