The quarterfinals are set for the 2018 World Junior Championships, with three Flyers prospects still having a chance at gold.

The dawn of a new year is typically a time for people to put focus on things they would like to change about themselves, making resolutions about ways to be better. Here are four New Year’s Resolutions for the Flyers.

Flyers prospect goalie Carter Hart was back in net for Canada on Saturday night and made all 18 saves in their 8-0 win over Denmark to clinch the top spot in Group A.

Flyers prospect goalie Carter Hart and Canada dropped a tough one to USA in a shootout in the outdoor game, while German Rubtsov had a standout game in Russia’s win over Belarus on Friday.

Another slow start put the Flyers behind early, but the stretch of lazy play continued into the final period before another late push that came too late in a 3-2 loss to the Florida Panthers.

The Flyers managed two third-period goals to make a game of things again, but their comeback effort came far too late in a 3-2 loss to the Florida Panthers on Thursday night to open a back-to-back in Florida.

The Flyers will see teams at both ends of the standings in this back-to-back, starting with the Florida Panthers. In the meantime, the Flyers look to get back into the winning column on a regular basis after dropping three of their last four games.

Every game for the Flyers is important from here on out if they want to be the playoff team they say they are. But putting the two remaining games in 2017 aside, the Flyers most crucial stretch in defining their season will be the games played in January.

While Canada was suiting up for their second game of the tournament on Wednesday evening, Carter Hart got the night off after getting the win in Canada’s first game on Tuesday afternoon against Finland. That left Maksim Sushko as the lone Flyers prospect in action on Wednesday, and he did not disappoint.

All four Flyers prospects at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Buffalo suited up for their first action of the tournament on Tuesday.

The Flyers played a hard-fought game against the Columbus Blue Jackets through 65 minutes, before ultimately dropping the game in the shootout by a score of 2-1.

In their final game before the NHL’s Christmas break, the Flyers look to end on a high note. Going into Friday’s game, the Flyers had won seven of their last eight games and had a 7-2-0 record in December. But that can change very quickly with a second straight loss in Columbus.

The Sabres returned the favor to the Flyers on Friday night, falling 4-2 in a sloppy and frustrating effort in Buffalo.

The Philadelphia Flyers saw an impeccable start by Brian Elliott fall by the wayside with a listless early effort and failed comeback attempt.

The Philadelphia Flyers begin a back-to-back before the holiday break with a trap game against the lowly Sabres in Buffalo tonight.

Robert Hagg scored his first NHL goal and Sean Couturier scored the only goal of the third period for his career-high 16th goal in a single season to give the Flyers a 4-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center.

It wasn’t necessarily a bad game for the Flyers as a whole, but after getting superb goaltending and catching some breaks and bounces along the way to a six-game winning streak, they ran into a team that was better defensively and elite between the pipes.

The Philadelphia Flyers could not match history as the Los Angeles Kings sent them back to reality with a 4-1 loss.

The Philadelphia Flyers will try to extend their winning streak to lucky number seven, but will have to do so against the resurgent Los Angeles Kings.

One week after being named the NHL’s third star of the week, Brian Elliott was once again in the rankings, rising to the second star of the week for the week ending on Dec. 17.

Following a 10 game losing streak, the Philadelphia Flyers have won six straight and are continuing to prove that the recent changes made by coach Dave Hakstol are paying off.

This week, Kevin Durso and Rob Riches look at the Flyers current six-game win streak and the opposite effect of the 10-game losing streak, in addition to the performances of Sean Couturier, Claude Giroux, Nolan Patrick, Shayne Gostisbehere and Travis Sanheim.

For the Flyers to claim their sixth straight win, it would take a little extra time. It may have been the Flyers holiday celebration, but the Flyers added a ghost story as well. Shayne Gostisbehere scored to tie the game in the second period and then added the game-winning goal in overtime to give the Flyers a 2-1 overtime win on Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers had a 10-game winning streak ended at the hands of the Dallas Stars almost a year ago to the day. They carry a five-game winning streak into their meeting in Philadelphia on Saturday. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

Facing the lowly Buffalo Sabres was going to be a test to see if the Flyers would play down to the opponent and let it hurt the final result, but the Orange and Black secured a 2-1 win for their fifth straight, which certainly has the team’s 10-game losing streak slipping further into the past.

Playing on home ice hasn’t been the Flyers strong suit this season, but they opened a five-game homestand with a clutch 4-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs to extend their winning streak to four.

The Philadelphia Flyers win their fourth straight game in a 4-2 comeback effort against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Philadelphia Flyers will need to prove they didn’t leave success in Western Canada as they try for their first home win in over a month against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Flyers have already announced that Nolan Patrick will not be loaned to Team Canada for the World Junior Championship later this month. The scenarios of whether Patrick stays or goes won’t come into play, but here’s a look at why either decision would have worked out for the Flyers.
