Last night marked a huge moment for the Flyers, as after a long and at times arduous regular season, they managed to overcome the bad bits, rallying from behind to a huge win over Carolina to punch their ticket to the postseason.
But despite the fact that the Flyers got a little bit of help heading into that matchup, with the Hurricanes resting a number of their top contributors, this game was far from an easy one. They managed to find some early jump in the first period, but weren’t able...
After Dan Vladar stopped Alexander Nikishin to clinch the Philadelphia Flyers’ first playoff berth since 2019-20, the Xfinity Mobile Arena erupted in a way that may have seemed foreign if you were a fan that had started just watching the team over the last few years.
The usual mixture of discontent at shoddy power plays and pent-up nervous energy was replaced with a raucous crowd that lived and died with every single puck touch. In the biggest game of the year, the fanbase demonstrated w...
Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet has seen his share of playoff hockey in Philadelphia. So he knows just how fanatical the city can be when the Flyers begin any post-season. But to see the club secure a playoff spot in this roller coaster season in his first year as coach seemed to be hit him differently. Tocchet and his staff embraced immediately after the Flyers won the 3-2 shootout, and he probably felt like hugging every one of the 20 players who earned the victory.
“I was emotional, I d...

Against a very depleted Hurricanes team, the Flyers pulled off a dramatic, comeback 3-2 victory in the shootout to clinch a playoff spot for the first time since 2019-2020. For the first time since the 2017-2018 playoffs, we’ll have a Battle of Pennsylvania against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Philadelphia Flyers have done it. In a win-and-you’re-in opportunity Monday night against the Carolina Hurricanes, they did not crumble or succumb to the moment. Standing tall and being able to withstand the immense pressure of punching their ticket with a victory, the Flyers were able to do just that.
With a 3-2 shootout win over the Hurricanes in front of the thousands of fans who have been hungry for this moment. Desperate to feel this feeling again of being one of the 16 teams who...
The final week of the regular season is upon us, and the Flyers have just two games to take care of that final bit of business and clinch a playoff spot for themselves. A win tonight against the Hurricanes would do it, and they have a prime opportunity ahead of them, as it looks like Carolina will be without some of their big guns in this final matchup of the season.

This has probably felt like the longest season of Matvei Michkov’s career. A vacation car accident, lessons in training, and some disputes with head coach Rick Tocchet — some more private than others — have left fans a bit more divided on the young star’s future ceiling. True, Michkov has not taken a step forward in his raw production totals despite being a year older and more experienced.
However, when you’re pushing for the playoffs, nobody cares about year over year statistics; just ge...
The Philadelphia Flyers need just two points to then clinch the playoffs for the first time since 2020 and host a playoff game for the first time since 2018. Just one single, little win will get them that spot and thanks to the Carolina Hurricanes, it might come a little bit easier than once thought.
It’s no mystery that the Hurricanes have proven to be unbeatable for the Flyers in recent years. This season they have two shootout losses and an overtime loss against them, last season it wa...
*It’s been a good weekend around here for the Flyers! Thursday’s game in Detroit was a rough one, but they were able to get things nicely back on track. One of the biggest things they needed to shore up was their discipline, which was a real trouble spot in that loss to the Red Wings. [ BSH ]
*And they were able to do that and more, as they marched themselves to a 7-1 win over the Jets to close out the road trip on Saturday. [ BSH ]

One of the Philadelphia Flyers most important prospects has made the decision to make the jump from the OHL to the NCAA for next season, and it could be massive.
Jack Nesbitt is currently playing in the OHL playoffs with his Windsor Spitfires squad and is just two wins away from clinching a conference final berth as they look to potentially punch their ticket to the final and then to the Memorial Cup. But, some reports have started to come out that make it almost certain that he is playin...
The Flyers will enter the game Monday night at home against Carolina with a chance to do something they haven’t done the previous five seasons: make the playoffs.
A win of any kind will put Philadelphia safely into the third seed in the Metropolitan Division. And thus getting them ready for the Battle of Pennsylvania against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the opening round. It’s almost miraculous they find themselves here. But here they are. At home Monday night against Carolina with a chance...
The Flyers are returning from their road trip with a chance to clinch a playoff spot within reach, and as they’re set to get rolling into these final two games of the regular season, they’ve made one more adjustment to their roster.

After the Flyers’ 7-1 drubbing of the Winnipeg Jets, the Flyers remain in control of their playoff destiny heading into Sunday’s slate of games. If the Flyers find a way to earn 3 of their last 4 points, they are headed back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 season.
As the Flyers have soared back into the playoff picture with a near .700 points percentage since the Olympic break, they’ve changed quite a few narratives about themselves in the process. Rick Tocchet, who ...
The Philadelphia Flyers might be the hunted, but try telling them that! Erasing the loss to Detroit on Thursday, Philadelphia trounced the Winnipeg Jets 7-1 on Saturday night, keeping their third seeding in the Metropolitan Division. And control of their own destiny.
The basics
First period: 1:17- Porter Martone (Travis Konecny), 6:57- Haydn Fleury (Cole Koepke, Jonathan Toews), 8:24- Matvei Michkov (Noah Cates, Denver Barkey), 8:49- Sean Couturier (Unassisted) Second period: 11:41- ...
It’s the final road game of the regular season for the Flyers, and they’re set to close out the trip with a matchup against the Jets in Winnipeg tonight. This game has major swing potential for their playoff chances, and the Flyers will need to be on their game if they want to keep their hopes alive, and bounce back from a tough outing in Detroit on Thursday, along with it. This game is a big one, as the season is winding down.

It’s happening again. The Philadelphia Flyers are relying on Claude Giroux to work some magic and give them a whole lot of a better chance to get into the playoffs. The only thing is that this time, Giroux isn’t actually playing for the Flyers.
As the Flyers continue to push and push into the playoffs during these final few remaining games of the regular season, every single point matters — and that job only got harder after the disheartening 6-3 loss to Detroit earlier in the week. They ...
The Philadelphia Flyers are reportedly trying to bring over a top Russian prospect before his KHL contract has expired, again.
Yegor Zavragin has been one of the best young netminders overseas and is putting up historic numbers in the SKA St. Petersburg organization, whether it is at the junior level, the second division, or in the KHL. He has ultimately proven to be an exceptional prospect almost immediately after the Flyers nabbed the previously unknown player in the third round of the ...
Travis Konecny has suddenly become the old reliable veteran forward that has provided a scoring punch during the Flyers' playoff push.
Although head coach Rick Tocchet was not happy with the energy level or the special teams in Philadelphia’s 6-3 loss to Detroit Thursday night, he was especially irked by the team’s lack of discipline. And while he didn’t name names, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to determine some of the players he was talking about after the game.
“I’m a little disappointed, obviously we got to let it go, we’re still in a position of controlling our own destiny,” Tocchet said after the loss Thursday ...

With a chance to keep their momentum rolling and deal a major blow to a conference rival in this tight playoff race, the Flyers went into Detroit and struggled mightily in a special teams heavy game. Despite some flashes, this game was largely all Red Wings, and with a deflating 6-3 loss, the Flyers’ cushion in the standings has been close to eliminated.
The Basics
First period: 2:28- Alex DeBrincat (Raymond, Seider)PPG, 13:24- Christian Dvorak (Martone, Konecny) Second period: 0:32-...
Another game, another crucial two points for the Philadelphia Flyers to earn and be well on their way to securing a playoff spot. Every single game is as big as possible through the remaining week of the regular season — this is what it’s all about. And now, it’s the Flyers visiting the floundering Detroit Red Wings.

The Flyers have four games remaining. Nothing is secured just yet, and the magic number is just slightly higher than the tragic number going into tonight’s critical contest against Detroit. But whatever happens over the next periods, Philadelphia has turned some heads this season. And have shushed a lot of the critics, particularly since the Olympic break. So while no champagne corks should be popping just yet, we can at least look back at what some of the notable experts around the league pro...
One of the Philadelphia Flyers most intriguing prospects is continuing his season in North America after signing his rookie deal with the team.
Announced on Thursday morning, the Flyers have signed 19-year-old center Jack Berglund to his three-year, entry-level contract that will start in the 2026-27 season. Additionally, the Flyers mentioned that the 6-foot-4 Swedish pivot is going to continue playing this season down in the AHL with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
