Alex Lyon
Analysis on the Flyers final roster and the final decisions that were made this weekend.
The Flyers announced the final 23-man roster to start the 2018-19 season on Sunday.
With final cuts approaching, it’s fairly easy to start reading between the lines and deciphering who is ahead in the roster battles. An update from Flyers training camp with notes on the roster, injuries and more.
The Flyers sent forwards Tyrell Goulbourne and Carsen Twarynski to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, bringing the training camp roster to 31 players, GM Ron Hextall announced on Friday morning.
Despite the three-goal rally that made it a game again on the scoreboard, the Flyers were badly outplayed for a stretch of the game and made mistakes that can’t translate to regular-season play. More from the Flyers 4-3 loss to the Bruins in our Postgame Review.
The Philadelphia Flyers have completed one week and five games in the preseason. The roster is down to 35 players with three games remaining and roster battles are heating up.
The Flyers have wanted to be patient with Hart and have him take every step necessary in development. Injuries may have opened the door for a chance to make the roster this season. The injuries are not Hart’s focus though, rather what he can control in his case to be an NHL goaltender.
The goalies are the leading topic at camp now with Alex Lyon and now Neuvirth dealing with injuries. Brian Elliott is also working his way back from an injury. That has all eyes on Carter Hart and Anthony Stolarz, two goalies just trying to throw their name into the competition. News, notes, quotes and more from training camp.
The Flyers got off to another good start in Friday’s game, but the finish was hardly similar to the previous three games. The Flyers suffered their first loss in the preseason since Sunday’s opener, dropping a 3-2 decision in overtime to the Islanders. More on Friday’s game from Allentown in our Postgame Review.
The Flyers cut 11 players from the training camp roster, bringing the roster to 41.
