The Flyers have one game left before getting a three-day break for the holidays. They travel to take on the New York Rangers on Sunday night.

If the Flyers did everything they could to eliminate chances in front of Carter Hart in the first two games of his career, they didn’t do him any favors in his third game. Hart was left in difficult position, needing to recover from the shortcomings the Flyers had early in the season, in a 4-3 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Carter Hart faced just 19 shots in the game, but allowed four goals as the Flyers struggled and were unable to find a rally in a 4-3 loss to the Blue Jackets at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers final home game of 2018 comes against the Columbus Blue Jackets, a team that got the better of the Flyers in overtime earlier this month.

With one second left, Ryan Johansen put a shot off the post, securing the second straight win for the Flyers by a score of 2-1 over the Nashville Predators on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center.

Things get a little normal for the Flyers again — no major changes before this home game — as they prepare to face one of the West’s best. The Nashville Predators are in town, providing a test for a team that may still be fragile from a lot of changes.

A clean slate for the Orange and Black rings in a new era for the team, one where they can hopefully move on from the identity of inconsistency. It won’t happen overnight, but the many changes — and the magnitude of them — ushers in a new era for the team as they begin the road ahead under GM Chuck Fletcher and interim head coach Scott Gordon.

In a time where there was a lot of newness and a clean slate for the franchise, the two newest members of the Flyers helped deliver a winning formula.

Carter Hart made 20 saves, Shayne Gostisbehere and James van Riemsdyk had two points each and Gordon got his first win as Flyers head coach, defeating the Detroit Red Wings, 3-2, on Tuesday night at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers get back to action following a disappointing road trip that forced the team’s hand to make a coaching change. They take on the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night looking to start anew with a win.

Ultimately, there was a disconnect between Hakstol and two parties — his team and the fan base. That disconnect and the overall inconsistency of the team is what will define his era as head coach.

In his media availability after the move, GM Chuck Fletcher also announced that Scott Gordon would be the interim head coach, and that his role could last through the remainder of the 2018-19 season.

The reports started to surface as the team was in the air on the way back from Vancouver after a five-game road trip. Now the news is official. Dave Hakstol is no longer the Flyers head coach.

The Flyers recalled 20-year-old netminder Carter Hart on Monday. Goalie Alex Lyon was returned to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Anthony Stolarz, who left Saturday’s game with an injury, is out for 2-to-4 weeks with a lower-body injury.

On Sunday afternoon, a report surfaced that the Flyers were firing Dave Hakstol and hiring Joel Quenneville. Since then, the reports have been denied numerous times. Conflicting reports surround the Flyers coaching situation.

The next major change has apparently. Following a dismal road trip that included losses in the final four games, the Flyers will fire Dave Hakstol as head coach and hire Joel Quenneville, according to a report from Dave Isaac of the Courier Post.

If the five-game road trip was going to be an evaluation period for new GM Chuck Fletcher, he should have all the answers he needs. It’s time for changes to happen and they could be coming soon.

The Flyers turned in another forgettable performance, falling to the Canucks, 5-1, on Saturday.

Things surrounding the Flyers will remain the same with the makeup of the team for one more night, as the Flyers close a five-game road trip in Vancouver against the Canucks.

The Flyers did nothing to turn the tide in Edmonton, looking rather lifeless in a 4-1 defeat to the Oilers.

This is a game of two teams going in opposite directions. The Edmonton Oilers have surged back into a playoff spot with an 8-2-2 record under new coach Ken Hitchcock. The Flyers, meanwhile, are 1-1-1 on a five-game road trip with very little, if any, progress made since the firing of GM Ron Hextall.

Johnny Gaudreau got the game-winning goal in overtime to hand the Flyers a gut-wrenching 6-5 defeat in to the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.

For the Flyers to avoid more significant changes as the season progresses, finding some consistency in the results is imperative. The next chance for a victory comes on Wednesday night against the Pacific Division leading Calgary Flames.

According to a report from Michael Russo of The Athletic, the Flyers will hire Minnesota Wild senior vice president of hockey operations Brent Flahr as their new assistant GM. The Flyers have not confirmed the hiring.

Comcast Spectacor announced on Monday that Valerie Camillo has been appointed as the President of Business Operations for the Philadelphia Flyers and Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers road trip continues on Sunday afternoon as the Flyers face the Winnipeg Jets.

The game turned in the second period as the Flyers applied more pressure and got the game tied. In the third, four more goals contributed to a big day on the scoresheet for the Orange and Black in a 6-2 win in Buffalo.

Buffalo entered the game with a 12-0-3 record when scoring first, but the Flyers handed the Sabres their first regulation loss in that category, scoring six unanswered goals, including four in the third period, to get a 6-2 victory to open a five-game road trip.

The Flyers hit the road for the first of five games by facing the Buffalo Sabres, with the recent memory that their last trip to Buffalo was not a successful one.
