As winners in four of their last five games going into the break, including quality victories over the Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Islanders and St. Louis Blues, the Flyers are riding a wave of momentum that has propelled them back into the playoff picture. And the break hasn’t affected that.

Flyers captain Claude Giroux will be the team’s lone representative at the NHL All-Star Game on Jan. 28.

With the Flyers off and the halfway point of the season in the rear-view mirror, here is the good, the bad and the ugly on the Flyers season so far.

While the break will serve as a time to evaluate the first half of the season, for now, we’re just going to focus on the game and the Flyers finding a way against the Sabres.

Sean Couturier led the charge again, scoring twice in the Flyers 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers are back on the ice on Sunday afternoon as well, facing the Buffalo Sabres as they close out a four-game homestand and head into their bye week.

This was very much to type of game the Flyers are looking to have on a nightly basis if their goal is to indeed reach the playoffs, but that didn’t mean that a game with so many positives didn’t have a few blemishes along the way.

Behind two quick first-period goals, the Flyers took an early lead and never looked back, defeating the St. Louis Blues, 6-3, at Wells Fargo Center.

It was Carter Hart and Canada taking the gold with a 3-1 win over Sweden in the Gold Medal Game in Buffalo to close out the 2018 World Junior Championships.

Both Carter Hart and Linus Hogberg will be on opposing sides in the Gold Medal Game on Friday night, as both Canada and Sweden claimed victories in Thursday’s semifinals.

Phantoms forward Danick Martel and defenseman T.J. Brennan have been selected as participants in the AHL All-Star Classic, set to take place in Utica, NY on Jan. 28-29.

Following another rather uninspired loss on Tuesday night to the Penguins, the Flyers made a roster move on Wednesday afternoon, recalling forward Tyrell Goulbourne from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

Flyers prospects Carter Hart and Linus Hogberg saw their teams advance to the semifinals at the 2018 World Junior Championships on Tuesday. The tournament came to an end for German Rubtsov and Russia with a loss to USA on Tuesday as well.

After nearly 30 minutes of hard-fought scoreless hockey, the game unraveled for the Flyers in a matter of 3:51 as the Penguins put the beatdown on the Flyers in their first game of 2018. Here is our Postgame Review.

The quarterfinals are set for the 2018 World Junior Championships, with three Flyers prospects still having a chance at gold.

The dawn of a new year is typically a time for people to put focus on things they would like to change about themselves, making resolutions about ways to be better. Here are four New Year’s Resolutions for the Flyers.

Flyers prospect goalie Carter Hart was back in net for Canada on Saturday night and made all 18 saves in their 8-0 win over Denmark to clinch the top spot in Group A.

Flyers prospect goalie Carter Hart and Canada dropped a tough one to USA in a shootout in the outdoor game, while German Rubtsov had a standout game in Russia’s win over Belarus on Friday.

Another slow start put the Flyers behind early, but the stretch of lazy play continued into the final period before another late push that came too late in a 3-2 loss to the Florida Panthers.

The Flyers managed two third-period goals to make a game of things again, but their comeback effort came far too late in a 3-2 loss to the Florida Panthers on Thursday night to open a back-to-back in Florida.

The Flyers will see teams at both ends of the standings in this back-to-back, starting with the Florida Panthers. In the meantime, the Flyers look to get back into the winning column on a regular basis after dropping three of their last four games.

Every game for the Flyers is important from here on out if they want to be the playoff team they say they are. But putting the two remaining games in 2017 aside, the Flyers most crucial stretch in defining their season will be the games played in January.

While Canada was suiting up for their second game of the tournament on Wednesday evening, Carter Hart got the night off after getting the win in Canada’s first game on Tuesday afternoon against Finland. That left Maksim Sushko as the lone Flyers prospect in action on Wednesday, and he did not disappoint.

All four Flyers prospects at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Buffalo suited up for their first action of the tournament on Tuesday.

The Flyers played a hard-fought game against the Columbus Blue Jackets through 65 minutes, before ultimately dropping the game in the shootout by a score of 2-1.

In their final game before the NHL’s Christmas break, the Flyers look to end on a high note. Going into Friday’s game, the Flyers had won seven of their last eight games and had a 7-2-0 record in December. But that can change very quickly with a second straight loss in Columbus.

The Sabres returned the favor to the Flyers on Friday night, falling 4-2 in a sloppy and frustrating effort in Buffalo.

Robert Hagg scored his first NHL goal and Sean Couturier scored the only goal of the third period for his career-high 16th goal in a single season to give the Flyers a 4-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center.
