The Philadelphia Flyers nearly made the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2023-24. Unfortunately, a late-season collapse prevented them from claiming the spot they held for most of the season. Still, there are a lot of positives for the Flyers to take away from this season. One positive is the continued emergence of forward Travis Konecny. Konecny […]

Just minutes after Travis Konecny tweeted that he “isn’t going anywhere,” the Philadelphia Flyers locked him up to one of the richest contracts in franchise history. Konecny and the Flyers agreed to a massive eight-year, $70 million extension on Thursday, the team announced. “Travis Konecny is an integral part of the fabric of our team […]

Matvei Michkov has only been in North America for a matter of days, but the young Russian phenom is already saying all the right things as he prepares for his first National Hockey League campaign in 2024-25. After touching down at JFK airport in New York earlier this week, the 19-year-old was introduced in a […]

The Philadelphia Flyers have not really been busy at all this offseason, which was to be expected after general manager Danny Briere said as much after the 2023-24 season. But, despite that, it’s been an exciting one for Philly fans. Matvei Michkov, who was selected No. 7 overall in the 2023 NHL Draft and not […]

The Nashville Predators have been fortunate enough to employ a pair of the NHL’s top players between the pipes over the last decade and a half, starting with franchise icon Pekka Rinne and his successor Juuse Saros. The Predators then landed another standout goaltender, selecting Yaroslav Askarov in the first-round of the 2020 NHL Draft. But […]

Filip Gustavsson may be sick of sharing a net with Marc-Andre Fleury on the Minnesota Wild, giving the Wild a reason to find him a new destination via trade. Fleury says this will be his last season, but Gustavsson will have to contend with top prospect Jesper Wallstedt for starts once Fleury leaves. Gustavsson won’t […]

It’s been in the works for years, but it’s time for the Anaheim Ducks to find Trevor Zegras a trade destination. Zegras felt like a perfect fit for the Ducks. The laid-back, offensively-gifted winger had the right vibe to be a star in California, and the fans loved him for his highlight-reel goals and sweet […]

The Philadelphia Flyers have made some intriguing moves this offseason. On Sunday, though, they focused on one of their own internal free agents. The Flyers have signed 24-year-old defenseman Egor Zamula to a two-year contract, the team announced. Zamula will make $1.7 million each season through the life of this new deal. Zamula represents the […]

There were legitimate signs of progress for the Philadelphia Flyers last season. The Flyers were in contention for a playoff spot until the final weeks of the season, and while their 38-33-11 represented progress over their 2022-23 results (31-38-13), the Flyers still finished in sixth place in the Metropolitan Division. The Flyers were once one […]

It’s the unfortunate reality of the business that is the National Hockey League, and now-former Philadelphia Flyers forward Cam Atkinson has found that out the hard way. He’s been bought out of the final years of his contract and is now a free agent. Frequently a healthy scratch under demanding bench boss John Tortorella, Atkinson […]

I’llThe Philadelphia Flyers want to recapture the momentum they had for most of the 2023-24 NHL season. At one point during the season, they were the third place team in the Metropolitan Division. However, the Flyers slid hard in the last month of the season — losing nine of their last 11 games and missing […]

When the Philadelphia Flyers selected Matvei Michkov at No. 7 overall in the 2023 NHL Draft, the organization was under the full impression that the young Russian would take some time to make it to North America. He did sign a five-year contract with SKA Saint Petersburg in the KHL, after all. That should have […]

Forward Matvei Michkov is reportedly leaving SKA and will be joining the Philadelphia Flyers for next season, according to Anthony Di Marco of The Fourth Period. Matvei Michkov reportedly has elected to be represented by CAA and will sign his entry-level contract with the Flyers. There has been no official announcement from the Flyers on […]

After making the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 14 of 15 seasons, the San Jose Sharks have missed the postseason festivities for five consecutive years. It has been a particularly painful rebuild, as the team finished 19-54 during the latest NHL campaign. There might finally be a blinding ray of light amid the darkness, however, now […]

The Philadelphia Flyers have a major opportunity ahead of them at the 2024 NHL Draft. They are working through a rebuild, despite their playoff contention this past season. And they own the 12th overall pick in the draft later this month. With this selection, they could add a high-end talent to their prospect pipeline. Where […]

The Philadelphia Flyers had quite the 2023-24 campaign. On one hand, it was rather successful given the circumstances. Philadelphia competed for a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs almost out of nowhere. Many expected the team to be near the bottom of the standings. And yet, they were in a playoff spot nearly all season […]

The Philadelphia Flyers are continuing to rebuild despite just barely missing out on the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The club looked like a lock to advance to the postseason after an excellent first three-quarters of the 2023-24 campaign, but things fell apart in the final weeks — the Flyers lost nine of their last 11 […]

Perhaps the hottest name on the NHL trade market ahead of free agency is Carolina Hurricanes center Martin Necas. The 25-year-old will be a restricted free agent on July 1 and there is every indication that the Canes have no problem trading his rights to another team. There have been several reports suggesting that the […]

Philadelphia Flyers top prospect Matvei Michkov fell to No. 7 in the 2023 NHL Draft largely because of the 19-year-olds commitment to play in the Kontinental Hockey League for three seasons. But based on a report from the Russia’s Sport-Express on Sunday, that might no longer be the case. “According to SE, SKA forward Matvey […]

The Philadelphia Flyers exceeded all expectations for about 90 percent of the 2023-24 NHL campaign. No one expected this team to come anywhere near advancing to the postseason, but led by a no-nonsense coach in John Tortorella and driven by some exciting young talent, the Flyers occupied the No. 3 spot in the Metropolitan Division […]

It was just under a month ago that Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ivan Fedotov had his contract with CSKA Moscow terminated — and the 27-year-old already has a new deal. The Flyers signed the Russian to a two-year, $6.5 million extension on Tuesday, keeping him under club control until at least the end of the 2025-26 […]

For most of the 2023-24 NHL season, John Tortorella’s Philadelphia Flyers were one of the biggest pleasant surprises, solidly remaining in playoff contention despite lowly preseason expectations. The season ultimately ended in disaster and disappointment, however, as the team’s play down the stretch led to them sliding down the standings table and missing the playoffs […]

The 2023-24 NHL season has become disappointing in a hurry for the Philadelphia Flyers.

Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella has come under fire a bit over the last few weeks. The Flyers have struggled mightily as of late. And they no longer occupy a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs as of now. On Tuesday night, things hit a new low. Philadelphia fell to the Montreal Canadiens by […]

Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella has been making headlines on what seems like a weekly basis in 2023-24. He has taken a roster that was widely expected to miss the playoffs in a rebuild year, and has it on the verge of a postseason berth with under two weeks left in the regular-season. As […]

Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella is certainly no stranger to controversy. Whether it’s his take on the team before his first game or his decisions regarding the gameday lineup, Tortorella does whatever he thinks is best for his team. His methods generate criticism here and there, but the veteran bench boss doesn’t shy away […]

It’s rare for a team in playoff contention to get a boost toward the end of the regular season. With the trade deadline gone and the top free agents and buyout candidates off the market, teams can only get upgrades from within the organization. The Philadelphia Flyers are getting such an upgrade with goalie Ivan […]

Although Philadelphia Flyers bench boss John Tortorella is well-known for having a short fuse, one of the winningest head coaches of all time can still admit when he’s wrong. Tortorella was asked about backup goaltender Felix Sandstrom’s play after a 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers on Sunday, and the 65-year-old looked stunned by the […]

The Philadelphia Flyers are struggling to pile up wins on and off the ice, and it won’t get any easier when they visit Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Rangers. The Rangers have won six straight over the Flyers and nine of the last ten. The Flyers’ last victory came on April […]

Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella made another controversial decision recently. First, he decreased the ice time of captain Sean Couturier. Then, he went a step further, making him a healthy scratch for two games. Philadelphia’s captain did return to the ice on Saturday. But he wants the past to remain in the past. Couturier […]

Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton wasn’t blind to what was going on. As the clock inched closer to 3 PM Eastern time on March 8th, he awaited news of a trade. Rumors around his departure from the City of Brotherly Love circulated well ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline. It certainly wouldn’t be surprising if […]

The Philadelphia Flyers are on the road tonight against the Metropolitan Division rival Carolina Hurricanes.

For the first time in a decade, an NHL captain was a healthy scratch – outside of resting for the playoffs – when Philadelphia Flyers captain Sean Couturier was removed from the lineup for Philly’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday.
