On Saturday, the Flyers get their first look at the East, facing the Carolina Hurricanes, who are off to a similar start at 1-1-2 on the season.

If you missed any of the Flyers 50th anniversary ceremony from the home opener on Thursday, take a look back at the 20-minute ceremony is complete with multiple intro videos, the light-up wristband light show, player introductions, video in memory of the Flyers we have lost over the years and the raising of the banner honoring Ed Snider.

Flyers forward Dale Weise has been suspended for three games for an illegal check to the head on Korbinian Holzer during the second period of Thursday’s 3-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks.

For the fourth straight game, the Flyers got off to a slow start in the first period. They recovered from it again with a small outburst of offense in the second period, but failed to capitalize on special teams chances when they had a chance to put the game out of reach.

The Flyers struggled to get offense going against a tight-checking and strong defensive team in the Anaheim Ducks, and fell in the home opener, 3-2, on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center.

A celebration is in store as the Flyers finally make their debut at home after three games on the road. Prior to the start of the home opener, the Flyers will celebrate the start of the 50th anniversary season in front of the home fans and pay tribute to founder and chairman Ed Snider against the Anaheim Ducks.

October 19, 1967, the Flyers took the ice for their first game at The Spectrum in Philadelphia and claimed a 1-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Flyers, at one point, struck for four straight goals and tied the game early in the third period. That was just one of the many parts of a road trip filled with learning experiences for a young Flyers team that, despite a 1-1-1 record and back-to-back losses, is on the rise.

The Blackhawks got out to a 4-0 lead and carried it late into the second period. The Flyers answered with four goals to even things up in the third. But it wouldn’t be enough as Chicago struck again midway through the third to reclaim the lead for good in the Flyers 7-4 loss to the Blackhawks on Tuesday night at United Center.

The final game of a season-opening three-game road trip commences on Tuesday night for the Flyers as they face the Chicago Blackhawks.

Entering Week 7, the Eagles are a far cry from where they were entering the bye week. 3-0 is a distant memory. 3-2 and two straight games of frustration, lack of execution and lack of discipline are the reality. Now, the Eagles season really is on the line, as in how the offensive and defensive lines can make do of where they are and change it for the better.

This week was truly a test. The Eagles were getting their first action within the NFC East, six games that mean everything to the Eagles division hopes. They failed that test, losing to the Redskins 27-20, and dropping to 3-2. And the grades this week reflect it.

At 3-1, the Eagles are facing another challenge in their first divisional game of the season against the Washington Redskins, who roll into the Week 6 meeting having won three straight games. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

The first meeting with the NFC East happens against the Washington Redskins on Sunday afternoon, and the Eagles are looking to get revenge on the end of a rivalry that hasn’t gone their way as of late. Here are six players to watch in Sunday’s game.

A four-goal second period, two of them from Sean Couturier, lifted the Flyers in their season opener over the Kings, 4-2.

The Flyers 50th anniversary season kicks off on Friday night as they face the Los Angeles Kings. The opening face-off is set for 10:30 p.m.

There are always questions for a team as a season begins. Here are five facing the Flyers as the 2016-17 season begins.

Last season, the Flyers brought the first of the long-awaited prospects to the NHL with the call up of Shayne Gostisbehere, who turned in an impressive rookie season. This season, Ivan Provorov and Travis Konecny arrive, making their NHL debut on Friday night. It is indeed a youth movement of sorts for the Flyers, who are as young as ever as their 50th season begins.

The roster is officially set. The Flyers have narrowed it down to the 23 players they will have for the start of the 2016-17 season.

The result for the Eagles right tackle was as expected. After having an appeal hearing, Johnson’s 10-game suspension has been upheld, according to MMQB’s Albert Breer.

October 11, 1967: the Philadelphia Flyers played their first game as an NHL franchise. The Flyers first season in the NHL opened against another the new expansion teams, the California Golden Seals. On this October night, it was the Golden Seals who would run the show, defeating the Flyers, 5-1.

The Eagles missed an opportunity to go to 4-0 on Sunday and while it may not affect the outlook of their season at this moment, it has to serve as a lesson for an Eagles team trying to grow together.

Defenseman Radko Gudas has been suspended for six games for an illegal check on Boston Bruins forward Austin Czarnik in Saturday’s preseason finale.

With Jordan Weal clearing waivers, 23 players on the Flyers roster, the maximum number for opening night on Friday in Los Angeles. GM Ron Hextall confirmed that 19-year-0ld prospects Ivan Provorov and Travis Konecny were on the team.

Defeat always hurts, but losing from self-inflicted wounds particularly hurts more and that is the focus of the grade book this week. Here are this week’s grades for the Eagles in their loss to the Lions.

For the first time since becoming the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Doug Pederson had to address the media following a loss. Pederson chose to look at the positives, the fact that facing a deficit didn’t stop the Eagles from putting up a fight.

A fumble by Ryan Mathews and the first interception by Carson Wentz, both in the fourth quarter, gave the Lions a 24-23 win over the Eagles on Sunday at Ford Field.

Essentially, the Flyers needed to make one cut to finalize the roster at 23. That move could go official in the next 24 hours. The Flyers have placed forward Jordan Weal on waivers.

The Eagles are 3-0 after rolling past the Steelers in Week 3, and enter Week 5 looking for a 4-0 start against the Detroit Lions. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
