Nikita Grebenkin makes instant impact in improved opportunity for Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers were dealt a heavy blow the moment it was confirmed that top-end two-way winger Tyson Foerster is going to miss at least the next two months and could possibly not be back on the ice until after the Olympic break in February. But, in the first game since the 23-year-old winger’s freak injury, there were some signs that the Flyers could live with his temporary replacement in the top nine. It was almost automatic. The rugged and young Russian winger Nikita Grebenkin,...

3 players who could replace injured Cam York in Flyers lineup

The Flyers seemed to suffer another blow in the injury department last night in their win over the Sabres, as they lost Cam York to what was clarified post-game as an upper body injury in the second period. York got hit up high towards the middle of the frame and stayed in the game long enough to get involved in the scrum which ensued after Trevor Zegras got pasted into the board by Rasmus Dahlin with about three minutes to go, but this would be his final shift. The Flyers weren’t able to...

5 Canucks veterans the Flyers might target in a trade

The Philadelphia Flyers might be a dark horse candidate to be fairly active around the trade market in the middle of this season as they try to keep a competitive roster on the ice while also keeping one foot committed to focusing on developing the young talent they have. Basically, they’re going to keep on trying to figure out what the team they hope will regularly compete for the playoffs, will look like.

No big-name free agent signing could be blessing in disguise for Flyers

On Monday’s edition of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast , Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman noted that one of the teams crying in their beers with the dearth of free agent talent in 2026 was the Philadelphia Flyers. But while they’re missing out on game-breaking talent, it might end up working in their favor still. With Alex Tuch being at the top of the list for now, it’s a drop from the talent that was once available in Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel, Kyle Connor, Kirill Kaprizov, and Adrian Kempe. So,...

Flyers’ Tyson Foerster exits game with awkward-looking injury

The Philadelphia Flyers just lost their leading goalscorer after he did something that he’s been doing all season long. It’s just so classic Flyers.

With all the weight behind him to try and earn his team the lead in a fairly important game, to try to wire the puck past Tristan Jarry and give the Flyers the advantage, somet...

Flyers’ 3 Stars of the Week: Dan Vladar deserves the world

It may’ve been American Thanksgiving, but the Flyers didn’t get to be home for it: all four of their games last week were on the road, with two in Florida, one on Long Island, and one in New Jersey. They finished the week 3-1-0 against three teams with Stanley Cup aspirations and a plucky rebuilding squad, which is a successful road trip any way you slice it.
