NHL Rumors: 3 Free-Agent Destinations for Canucks' Teddy Blueger
Teddy Blueger is among the most notable pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) centers heading into the offseason. If the Vancouver Canucks do not re-sign and he hits the market, he should generate a good amount of interest as a free agent. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could sign Blueger if he tests free agency this summer. Pittsburgh Penguins Could a reunion between Blueger and the Penguins be in the cards? The Penguins were linked to Blueger leading up to the deadli...
Penguins Making Big Lineup Move Ahead of Game 4
The Pittsburgh Penguins' season is on the line, and head coach Dan Muse isn't sitting idly by. As they try to stave off a sweep at the hands of the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night, the Pens will be starting Arturs Silovs in goal, replacing Stuart Skinner. Coach Muse has confirmed Artūrs Šilovs will start in Game 4 vs. the Flyers. pic.twitter.com/12bwmt4KZL — TSN (@TSN_Sports) April 25, 2026 Silovs' last playoff experience was two years back, when he was called on in an emergency situatio...
Evgeni Malkin Could Be Entering Final Game for Penguins
The Pittsburgh Penguins have their backs against the wall down 3-0 to the Philadelphia Flyers, and entering Game 4 on Saturday, legend Evgeni Malkin is well aware what's at stake. Malkin's in the final season of his current contract, and with a new sense of direction from Kyle Dubas and company in the front office, and a pending new owner, there's a very good chance the team walks away from Malkin at season's end. Malkin, 39, battled some injury troubles this season, appearing in just 56...
Dan Vladar will start Game 4 for Flyers after injury scare
The Philadelphia Flyers have given their entire fan base great news ahead of Game 4 against the Pittsburgh Penguins and we no longer have to be worried. Dan Vladar will be in the crease for his fourth consecutive start despite suffering a minor injury in the middle of Game 3 and sticking it out to finish the game and give the Flyers a 3-0 series lead. Now, they have a big opportunity to complete the S-word that we don’t really want to say just in case anyone believes in jinxes. Lin...

Owen Tippett trolls Sidney Crosby with ‘Crosby sucks’ message on signed puck
There’s always a slight chance it’s a doctored image, but a social media post this afternoon might fan some flames leading to tomorrow night’s Game 4 against the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins. A 14-second clip was posted this afternoon, showing a woman wearing a Travis Sanheim jersey approaching a vehicle with Flyers winger Owen Tippett in the driver’s seat. It apparently took place after Game 3 at Xfinity Mobile Arena, with the player leaving in his vehicle to head home. Th...
Penguins/Flyers Update: Pens get new lines, Vladar misses practice
Both the Penguins and Flyers took advantage of the extra day off in between games on Friday to get a practice in ahead of Saturday night’s Game 4. Pittsburgh is going back to a successful line, putting Egor Chinakhov back with Evgeni Malkin and Tommy Novak. The trio shined towards the end of the year […]
Should the Flyers trust Sam Ersson to close out the Penguins in Game 4?
No road in the Stanley Cup is smooth sailing. There are bumps along the way. Nobody comes out unscathed. And, despite holding a rather commanding 3-0 lead in the series against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Philadelphia Flyers might have hit their first road bump heading into Game 4 at home on Saturday night. Around the midway point of the third period on Wednesday night, with the Flyers leading 3-1, the Penguins were hoping to cut the deficit with pressure in the Flyers zone. The puck was...
5 Flyers who can deliver the knockout blow to the Penguins
We’re all dreaming of it. It would be too sweet. Maybe something that we don’t entirely deserve but something that is too good to not think about: Sweeping the Pittsburgh Penguins as they venture into a summer of unknowns and the Philadelphia Flyers of all teams killing this era of a team that we have despised forever. Evgeni Malkin is a pending unrestricted free agent, Kris Letang looks worse than Keith Yandle did during his year in Philadelphia, and Sidney Crosby is about to be left alo...
Comparing the Blackhawks’ youth movement to the ‘young’ teams in the playoffs
With the first week of the Stanley Cup Playoffs nearing its end, a side discussion over at SCH HQ between LBR and myself seemed like it’d be good to bring to the people here, as it has some relevancy to the team watching from home (or some beachfront property) that’s being assembled over at 1901 W. Madison. A couple of teams with rather young forward groups have grabbed early headlines, led by the Philadelphia Flyers, up 3-0 on their interstate rivals from Pittsburgh. An also young Montre...
Penguins flaws are finally showing themselves
From the moment the 2025-26 season began, the Pittsburgh Penguins biggest flaws were pretty obvious. Even as the forward depth proved to be better than anybody could have anticipated, and even as they continued to exceed expectations and win games, those flaws were still there lurking beneath the surface. We all knew what they were. […]
No reason but blind hope: A history of 0-3 series comebacks and close calls
The Pittsburgh Penguins face their first truly must win game of the season tomorrow night in Philadelphia. If they can do that, they would have another in Pittsburgh on Monday. If they won that, it’d be another must win situation setup for Game 6 in Philadelphia. If somehow they won that too, then there would […]
Philadelphia Flyers' Dan Vladar Uncertain For Game 4
The Philadelphia Flyers are one win away from sweeping the Pittsburgh Penguins and advancing to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2020. The only thing standing between them and that moment is a question about their most important player. Goaltender Dan Vladar did not practice Thursday after suffering an apparent right arm injury late in the third period of Wednesday's 5-2 Game 3 victory, when Penguins forward Bryan Rust crashed into him in the crease and...
Pens Points: On the edge
Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… Anthony Mantha’s poor playoff showing for the Pittsburgh Penguins, which includes zero postseason goals after leading the team in the regular season with 33, in addition to costly penalties across the first three games, may be making the team’s offseason choice easier by pushing them away […]
NHL Notebook: Penguins face sweep, Senators superstition sends fan to Asia, and more
The Pittsburgh Penguins have lost again, and now the Philadelphia Flyers have a 3-0 series lead in the Battle of Pennsylvania. It is going to be a tough hill for the Penguins to climb if they have any hopes of playing in the second round of the NHL playoffs. In Game 3 Wednesday night, it…
Flyers’ Dan Vladar ‘feels better’ after injury scare against Penguins
Fans of the Philadelphia Flyers held their collective breath when goaltender Dan Vladar appeared shaken up in Wednesday night’s Game 3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Vladar did not take part in Thursday’s practice at the Flyers Training Center. However, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet revealed after practice that while Vladar is hurting, he was simply given the day off for maintenance. Exhale. “It’s more of a maintenance day,” Tocchet told the media...
Flyers thriving against Penguins with team effort and balanced scoring
The series isn’t over, and the Flyers still have one more win to get to the second round, but thus far Philadelphia has been perfect. They are shutting down one of the better offensive teams in 2025-26 while at times putting on a defensive clinic that hasn’t been seen in some time. Heading into the series, much was made of the fact how deep the Penguins were, with a dozen players scoring 13 or more goals. So even if the Flyers somehow stopped Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, they still had the...
Game 3 Aftermath: How the game and likely the season was lost for the Penguins
There were decisions to be made going into Game 3 last night for how the Penguins would respond to playing on the road, trailing 2-0 in their series with the Philadelphia Flyers. “There should be frustration,” Dan Muse said after Game 2. “We just lost two games at home. How are you going to respond? […]
3 Pittsburgh Penguins Not Expected Back in 2026-27
The Pittsburgh Penguins have their backs against the wall. The Pens have been owned by the Philadelphia Flyers through three games of their first-round Stanley Cup Playoff series, and there's no doubt Kyle Dubas is going to make some significant roster changes this summer. The Penguins exceeded expectations this season as Dan Muse could be in the running to win the Jack Adams award as coach of the year. Regardless of Muse's impact, there's some changes looming on the roster based on contract s...
Anthony Mantha is making the Penguins decision easy for them
There is not any one player or person that is responsible for the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-0 series deficit. It has been a well-earned, collective group effort that everybody has to own. The Penguins have allowed themselves to get suckered into Philadelphia’s game, there is little discipline, they are not in any way adapting to what […]
Pens Points: Not Great
Needing a win to avoid going down 0-3 in the series, the Pittsburgh Penguins struck first on Wednesday night for their first lead of the series, but three second period goals from the Philadelphia Flyers erased that deficit and the Penguins subsequently came apart at the seams in what turned out to be a 5-2 […]
Takeaways: Flyers win Game 3 against Penguins in feisty 5-2 win at home
In the first Philadelphia Flyers home playoff game – with fans – since 2018, the Flyers gave the home crowd plenty to cheer about as they defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in a physical 5-2 victory. The Basics First period: 4:18 – Evgeni Malkin (Bryan Rust, Sidney Crosby) (PPG) Second period: 5:18 – Trevor Zegras (Jamie Drysdale, Porter Martone) (PPG), 9:06 – Rasmus Ristolainen (Noah Juulsen, Sean Couturier), 11:18 – Nick Seeler (Noah Juulsen, Sean Couturier) Third period: 9...
Travis Konecny made the Penguins look like fools during Game 3 win
Travis Konecny has not been showing up on the score sheet in this first round against the Pittsburgh Penguins, but he is doing exactly what he needs to do. The Philadelphia Flyers still live and breathe in rhythm with Konecny on the ice and he is a major reason why they have now earned a 3-0 series lead over their archrivals. If you just looked at a bunch of numbers from Wednesday night’s 5-2 Flyers win in Game 3, and saw that Konecny finished the game with zero goals, zero assists, four ...
