The Flyers announced the final 23-man roster to start the 2018-19 season on Sunday.

The Flyers announced three cuts on Sunday afternoon, bringing the roster to 24. Defensemen Phil Myers and Mark Friedman and goalie Carter Hart were sent to the Phantoms.

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.

A pair of quick goals got the Flyers right back into it midway through the period, but just like Monday, the Flyers couldn’t completely recover and fell short, dropping the final preseason game at home to the Rangers, 4-2, on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center.

There was more clarity in the Flyers lines at practice as the preseason winds down. Also, the Flyers released a statement regarding Jori Lehtera and updated injuries.

The Flyers reduced the roster by two players, sending defenseman Phil Myers and forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel to the Phantoms, GM Ron Hextall announced on Tuesday.

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 competition for the final spots has entered the final week of the preseason, which includes three more games for the Flyers. The first is on Monday night at Wells Fargo Center, as the Flyers take on the Boston Bruins.

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 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.

GM Ron Hextall provided an update on Sanheim on Monday, and the prognosis was fairly positive. Sanheim will miss one week with the injury.

It was difficult to find many positives out of this game, a 3-0 loss for the Flyers to the Islanders, and an injury to Travis Sanheim only added to it. 

Notes, news, quotes and line combinations from Day 1 of Flyers training camp.

The guys are back to preview training camp and the preseason. They take a look back at the Rookie Game on Wednesday, discuss prospects, goaltending and some big stories around the NHL this week.

Morgan Frost was a standout on Day 1 of Flyers rookie camp, showing off his speed. That and more notes from Day 1 of Flyers rookie camp.

On Monday, the Flyers open rookie camp and Phil Myers is among the participants. But for him, rookie camp and the subsequent training camp to follow will take on a new meaning with a possible roster spot on the line.

Flyers defenseman Andrew MacDonald suffered a lower-body injury during an offseason workout and will be out for six weeks, according to GM Ron Hextall.

With the Flyers offseason plan essentially complete — with the exception of training camp happenings — have the Flyers done enough to show improvement in key areas from a season ago?

Ron Hextall sent a message, and the team’s veterans may want to pay attention.
