As is tradition on the final weekend of the regular season, the Flyers presented their annual team awards prior to Saturday’s game against Columbus.

Two games remain on the Flyers season as the final weekend begins. It will start for the Orange and Black on Saturday afternoon against the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have locked up their playoff spot in third place in the Metropolitan Division.

The Flyers have sadly announced that former forward and long-time scout of the organization Ilkka Sinisalo passed away on Wednesday morning at the age of 58.

In the 2006-07 season, the Flyers were in rare territory, flirting with the worst record in the NHL. When the Flyers did finish with the worst record, the thought of having the first overall pick and landed a bonafide superstar left Flyers fans drooling. In Part 2 of this series looking back at the 2006-07 season, we look at the draft held that offseason and what might have been.

John Moore scored the lone goal of the game 59 seconds into overtime on a 2-on-1 to give the Devils a 1-0 win over the Flyers on Tuesday night.

The Eagles traded their third-round pick, 74th overall, to the Baltimore Ravens for defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan and Baltimore’s third-round pick at 99th overall.

Road woes heavily defined the season, and the Flyers face off one last time this season as the visiting team against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night, after a spirited meeting on Saturday night in Philadelphia. Tuesday’s game also brings some new faces to the lineup. Mike Vecchione makes his NHL debut after sitting out the weekend, and so does defenseman Sam Morin, who was called up on Tuesday.

The Flyers have called up defenseman Sam Morin from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms ahead of Tuesday night’s game against the New Jersey Devils, GM Ron Hextall announced.

It’s April and playoff time is in full swing for some of the Flyers prospects. For several players in juniors and college, it’s been a successful postseason so far with only more to come. Here is the latest Minor League Report.

There are just three games remaining in the Flyers season. The Flyers 50th anniversary season, which featured numerous reasons to celebrate the history of the franchise, will come to a close in six days. Just like 10 years ago, when the Flyers celebrated their 40th anniversary season, the Flyers will not be in the playoffs.

Flyers GM Ron Hextall has been named the general manager of Team Canada for the 2017 IIHF World Championship.

After so much debate and speculation, the NHL finally released a statement regarding the issue on Monday and it is now official: NHL players will not be a part of the 2018 Olympics.

It’s official: the Flyers will miss the playoffs for the third time in five seasons. A 4-3 loss at the hands of the New York Rangers on Sunday night put the final nail in the coffin, dashing the last remaining playoff hopes for the Flyers.

The Flyers may not be making the playoffs, but they have closed the season to this point with a solid stretch of games, opening up their winning streak to four with Saturday’s emotional win over the Devils. Now they close out the season series with the Rangers, looking to solve their road woes at MSG.

The Flyers have landed one of college hockey’s brightest stars. GM Ron Hextall announced on Friday morning that the Flyers have signed forward Mike Vecchione to an entry-level deal.

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said he “couldn’t be more excited” about the Eagles direction moving forward and focused on the moves that helped the Eagles land Carson Wentz in the Draft last offseason.

Vince Velasquez threw five solid innings on the mound while Tommy Joseph and Freddy Galvis each had multi-hit games and drove in two runs each in a 7-1 win for the Phillies over the Blue Jays.

A five-run first inning got the Phillies started quickly and despite the Pirates chipping away in the early innings, it was the bullpen that took care of business the rest of the way, securing a 6-3 win for the Phillies on Sunday afternoon at Spectrum Field.

With the Flyers sitting as a huge longshot to make the playoffs, playing spoiler is the next best thing. The Flyers played the role well in Minnesota on Thursday night. The Wild had a chance to clinch a playoff spot with a win, but a determined effort by the Flyers led to a 3-1 win, putting Minnesota’s celebration on hold.

There are 10 games remaining, including three incredibly difficult opponents on the remainder of this road trip, starting with the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night.

The Flyers essentially rode Steve Mason’s coattails to a lengthy winning streak, looking like a playoff contender with an established No. 1 goalie back in December. But after watching the Flyers performance dip and Michal Neuvirth return and be handed the reins and a new contract, Mason has performed admirably given the surrounding circumstances.

Against all odds, the Phantoms stared a 4-0 deficit in the face and rallied back, scoring four unanswered goals in the final 21 minutes of regulation before sealing a 5-4 win in overtime over the St. John’s IceCaps on Tuesday night.

As the season gets closer to coming to an end, several of the Flyers prospects are preparing for the playoffs and college tournaments. Here’s the latest rundown.

With the addition of Torrey Smith and Alshon Jeffery, many would believe that two new receivers would shift the Eagles draft focus elsewhere. But just because the Eagles added two receivers doesn’t mean they are not in the market for another come draft day.

Wins in any of the Flyers remaining 12 games — which started Sunday — should be viewed with the glass-half-full mentality, about the things that go right and the things that go wrong. The Flyers 4-3 overtime win on Sunday featured several things that went right and wrong. Here are 10 Postgame Points from Flyers-Hurricanes.

Ivan Provorov scored the first goal of the game and had two assists for a three-point game, and Travis Konecny’s game-tying goal with 42.8 seconds left in the third set the stage for Brayden Schenn’s game-winning goal in overtime to give the Flyers a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers host the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday night as the final 12 games for the Flyers begin. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.

They started off strong, but in the end, had to hold off another furious rally. The Phantoms returned the favor on the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Saturday night in the second half of a home-and-home, defeating the Penguins, 3-2, at Mohegan Sun Arena.

If the New Jersey Devils needed a cure to their losing ways, they got in the Flyers. The Flyers have struggled mightily against the Devils in two meetings this season, and the third on Thursday was no different. The Devils poured it on with two goals in the second and two in the third to take a 5-2 win over the Flyers.
