The Phantoms continued to show why they have been one of the best teams in the AHL this season, scoring four goals in the third period to secure a 7-4 win over the Comets on Sunday afternoon.

It’s hard to determine just what rock bottom would be for this Flyers team, but Thursday night’s game may have been it. The Flyers scored three goals for the first time since Feb. 2, but that was hardly enough in a 6-3 loss to the Oilers at Rogers Place.

Fresh off another loss that hurt their playoff chances, the Flyers return to the ice in a virtual must-win game against the Edmonton Oilers. The opening face-off is set for 9 p.m.

As the Flyers season continues to see-saw between playoffs and not, the Flyers prospects continue to keep hope high within the organization. Here’s a look at some of the prospects and their performances from the last week.

Make no mistake about it, the Eagles aren’t messing around when it comes to their search for new wide receivers. The list increasingly grew over the weekend, with reports circulating that the team would target Pierre Garcon and Alshon Jeffery in the offseason, joining names like Kenny Stills, DeSean Jackson and an ongoing trade rumor involving Torrey Smith.

The Flyers sat Shayne Gostisbehere for three games after a 5-1 drubbing to the Hurricanes in their first game back from the All-Star break. For eight days, Gostisbehere got extra time to work on things in practice and observe games and his mature approach to the situation has things back on track so to speak.

The Eagles will make a run at free-agent wide receiver Alshon Jeffery in free agency, according to a report from CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora.

According to a report from Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice, the Eagles are likely to trade linebacker Mychal Kendricks this offseason.

Through two periods, it was too much of the same for the Flyers. The solid defensive play was certainly still present for the Flyers, but the goals still weren’t coming. Finally, one to break the ice in the third put the Flyers on the board, but it would still take overtime for the Flyers to snap a three-game losing streak and earn a crucial two points. Here are 10 Postgame Points from Flyers-Sharks.

Wayne Simmonds scored on a breakaway at 1:04 of overtime, giving the Flyers a 2-1 win over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center.

The San Jose Sharks come to town for the final game of what has been a disappointing five-game homestand. The opening face-off is set for 1 p.m.

The inevitable move of Travis Konecny heading to injured reserve after suffering a lower-body injury that will sideline him for four-to-six weeks happened on Friday morning. Jordan Weal, who has spent the entire season with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, has been called up to take Konecny’s place on the roster.

The Islanders were a motivated team and proved it on Thursday night, handing the Flyers a 3-1 loss to knock them out of a playoff spot at the moment. Here are 10 Postgame Points from Flyers-Islanders.

Shayne Gostisbehere’s scratching, and Travis Konecny’s two-game benching prior to Monday’s game, left Flyers fans baffled. Dave Hakstol’s response in regards to the lineup is that he is dressing the best 20 players to win hockey games. But is he really? That’s certainly the question on Flyers fans’ minds.

After just one game back in the lineup from his two-game benching, Travis Konecny will miss even more time with a lower-body injury. Konecny is out for four-to-six weeks, as Flyers GM Ron Hextall announced on Tuesday.

Both teams, the Patriots and Falcons alike, showed similar traits to the Eagles in Super Bowl LI, and while those traits and qualities in one game don’t make a season for either of those teams, they defined the Eagles season. Here’s a look at six.

The Patriots had their backs against the wall, facing a 21-3 deficit at halftime and a 28-3 deficit halfway through the third quarter, only to erase the 25-point margin and finish things off in overtime for a 34-28 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

The NFL is set to announce the new Hall of Fame class and annual award winners on the eve of the Super Bowl. Both Brian Dawkins and Terrell Owens, two former Eagles that were named finalists, are not part of the Hall of Fame class, according to reports.

The Kings came into the game on a four-game winning streak and the Flyers had won four of their last five, so with both teams riding waves of success of late, something had to give eventually in a physical game where space was limited and chances were few and far between. Here are 10 Postgame Points from Flyers-Kings.

This was your typical game against the Canadiens. Chances were hard to come by, Carey Price was on his game and the Flyers needed an extra push to get the two points, but they managed to get those critical points. Here are 10 Postgame Points from Flyers-Canadiens.

The Flyers honor the 18 captains in their history for Thursday night’s Heritage Night. Here’s a look back at all 18.

All of the good vibes of a three-game winning streak vanished quickly in what is quite possibly the Flyers ugliest performance of the season. The Carolina Hurricanes were a motivated bunch riding a five-game losing streak and it showed in their 5-1 romp over the Flyers.

Wayne Simmonds, the player who the Flyers acquired as part of a major roster shakeup, one who wasn’t even the highlighted player in the trade return, was regarded as the best player on the ice on Sunday, and has been among the Flyers best for six seasons now, bringing his career truly full circle.

The Pro Bowl was held in Orlando on Sunday night with the AFC edging the NFC by a score of 20-13. In game heavily dominated by field goals, two second-quarter touchdowns by the AFC helped provide the margin of victory.

In the semi-finals, Wayne Simmonds scored the first two goals for the Metropolitan Division in a 10-6 win over the Atlantic Division. In the final, Simmonds scored the deciding goal in the Metro’s 4-3 win and took home MVP honors with the three-goal performance.

Hockey Hall of Famers and Flyers legends Bobby Clarke, Bernie Parent and Eric Lindros were named to the NHL 100 list. Six other members of the list spent time during their careers with the Flyers: Darryl Sittler, Paul Coffey, Adam Oates, Peter Forsberg, Chris Pronger and Jaromir Jagr.

The opponent for the Flyers on Thursday night is an upstart, young team in the Toronto Maple Leafs, who despite their overall lack of experience bring a ton of talent to the ice.

After going weeks living in the shadow of a 10-game winning streak that was becoming a further memory by the day, the Flyers strung together back-to-back wins with a shutout over the Rangers on Wednesday.

Steve Mason made 34 saves in a shutout win for the Flyers, who defeated the Rangers, 2-0, at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.
