A long layoff hurt the Flyers on Friday night. Lucky for them, there is not much time to dwell on the recent opast and a chance at redemption waiting on Saturday. Redemption comes in two forms in this Saturday night game between the Flyers and the Montreal Canadiens. The Flyers had a three-game winning streak […]
Five days off on the schedule helped end a five-game home winning streak for the Flyers. But the break was hardly a reason for the Flyers sluggish effort against a reeling Blue Jackets team. Columbus entered Friday night's game on a nine-game losing streak – 0-8-1 in their last nine games – and stunned the […]
Six games into the season, the Flyers had one win – and a very poor one at that. They had four points in the standings, one from a blown game against Montreal at home on Oct. 11, where a 3-0 lead in the final period ended in a 4-3 shootout loss. They had another point […]
Three wins gave the Flyers plenty of standout performers. But it has been impossible to ignore the tear Jake Voracek has been on in the last two weeks. Voracek extended his points streak to eight games with six points in three games this week. Voracek scored two goals in Tuesday's win over the Oilers, added […]
It will go down as one of the unsung plays of the season for the Flyers. In the closing seconds, Nick Grossmann stood tall and blocked a shot by John Mitchell that was bound for the back of the net. A goal would have blown a 4-0 lead in the final 20 minutes. Instead, the […]
When the day began, the Flyers had two of the league leaders in assists. Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek were tied with 13. Voracek extended his lead there while Giroux padded his points total in a different way. It had been since Oct. 18 since Giroux had last scored a goal, an overtime winner in […]
The Flyers couldn't have asked for a better start to a four-game homestand, securing wins against the Oilers and Panthers both by 4-1 finals. The next opponent for the Orange and Black also comes from the Western Conference, as the Colorado Avalanche make their only appearance of the season at Wells Fargo Center. The opening […]
Jake Voracek extended his points streak to seven games on a great feed from Claude Giroux. Chris VandeVelde was quickly taken off the top line to get Wayne Simmonds better chances. Those were two storylines that will carry into the next game. But the one that would normally be overlooked is the scoring depth the […]
When the Flyers faced the Florida Panthers on Saturday, taking a 2-1 loss, they didn't beat Roberto Luongo until there were just seven seconds left in regulation. They made up for it on Thursday. The Flyers scored twice in the first and twice more in the second as they beat the Panthers, 4-1, from Wells […]

The Panthers didn't have the greatest offensive game, but two goals […]
