Matvei Michkov had a goal and an assist in his return to the lineup in the Flyers shootout win over the Sharks on Monday night.

On a new YWT Podcast, the guys discuss the first two games of the Flyers season, the debuts of Matvei Michkov and Jett Luchanko, and more.

Matvei Michkov got his first NHL point, an assist on a Travis Konecny power-play goal, but the Flyers fell to the Flames on Saturday night.

The Flyers reduced the training camp roster by 14 players on Friday, bringing it to the final 23 likely to make the opening night roster.

The preseason comes to a close as the Flyers face off against the New Jersey Devils on home ice on Thursday night.

With the preseason winding down, a closer look at what the Flyers line combinations could be when the season starts in a week.

The Flyers continue the preseason on Monday night against the New York Islanders, with goalie Alexei Kolosov making his preseason debut.

With the Flyers preseason now past the halfway point, here are five observations from the first four games.

Sam Ersson made 36 saves and Matvei Michkov scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in a 2-0 preseason win over the Islanders.

The Flyers continue the preseason with their first game at Wells Fargo Center, taking on the New York Islanders on Thursday night.

Matvei Michkov was introduced to Philadelphia on Wednesday with much fanfare. The 19-year-old showed appreciation for the excitement and warm welcome, while putting focus on his eventually goals with the Flyers.

After making a couple of in-house deals and officially signing their top prospect, Danny Briere again preached patience as the Flyers continue the rebuilding process.

The Flyers brought back defenseman Erik Johnson on a one-year deal and signed a two-year extension with forward Garnet Hathaway on Day 1 of free agency.

Free agency opens around the NHL on July 1, but don’t expect the Flyers to be big players. GM Danny Briere has already stated it should be a quiet day for the Orange and Black.

In the first of a four-part series, we profile the expiring contracts the Flyers have going into the 2023-24 offseason.

Looking back at Danny Briere’s first season as Flyers GM, how he fared in the draft, signings, and trades, and what lies ahead.

The Flyers re-signed goalie Ivan Fedotov to a two-year extension with a $3.25 million cap hit on Tuesday.

A night of crooked numbers, as a five-goal second period extends the Flyers losing streak to eight games in a 9-3 loss to the Canadiens.

The Flyers tied the game in the third period and earned a valuable point in the standings, but fell to the Hurricanes in overtime.

On this week’s YWT Podcast episode, the guys break down the Flyers trade deadline, games this week, John Tortorella’s suspension, and more.

Danny Briere’s first trade deadline as Flyers GM involved a little bit of everything: eyes on the future, rewarding the present, and continuing the message of locker room culture.

The Flyers added forward Denis Gurianov and defenseman Erik Johnson in a pair of minor trades on deadline day.

Another late push wasn’t enough on the scoreboard, as the Colorado Avalanche claimed a 3-2 result and handed the Flyers their fourth straight loss and 16th in their last 18 games on Tuesday night.

The Colorado Avalanche’s Stanley Cup win in 2022 is an achievement that is a long time coming, a process that played out with a franchise icon leading the way at the top and started with another behind the bench, only to be placed in the hands of a hockey journeyman who rose through the coaching ranks. It’s also an achievement for the players who were around for the entire process, which included as many low points as it did the highest moments that were reached in this championship season.

The Avalanche used a four-goal first period to set the tone, as the Flyers were handed a 6-3 loss on Friday night.

Just like it has so many times during this losing streak, the momentum disappeared in an instant and the snowball effect started. A shorthanded goal for the Avalanche got the game tied and was the first of four straight goals. The Flyers managed a small rally in the opening period to trim the margin to one twice in the game, but eventually fell for the ninth straight game with a 7-5 loss to the Avalanche at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers were locked in a close game with the Avalanche until the bitter end, falling in their second game of the season by a score of 5-2 in Denver on Saturday night.
