Tag: Jori Lehtera

With Bobby Clarke’s recent comments about former Philadelphia Flyers GM Ron Hextall, it’s time for another revisit not just about the Brayden Schenn trade, but the 2017 NHL Draft as a whole.

After an impressive sophomore year, Joel Farabee was rewarded this offseason with a six-year, $30 million ($5 million AAV) contract extension, which will kick in during the 2022-23 season. Now that he’s got an extension, how will the young star in the making do from here on out?

The Flyers season is over, and it sets up for an interesting offseason for GM Chuck Fletcher, one that begins now that the season is over and will carry over throughout the summer and as the 2019-20 season approaches.

The Flyers placed forward Jori Lehtera on waivers on Wednesday, GM Chuck Fletcher announced.

While some of the league’s best players prepare for a light, friendly televised workout next weekend in San Jose, here’s a few nuggets to chew on from around the league.

The Flyers got three goals from Sean Couturier and another excellent night in goal from Carter Hart on their way to back-to-back wins for just the fourth time this season, defeating the Bruins, 4-3.

Sean Couturier scored another hat trick for the Flyers, while Carter Hart stopped a career-high 39 shots in a 4-3 Flyers win over the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center.

With James van Riemsdyk expected to return to the lineup Thursday night against the New Jersey Devils, the team looks forward to his scoring abilities and what he can bring to a struggling power play.

Some typical flaws showed up again on Thursday night and nearly cost the Flyers two points. Instead, a frantic rally and another game-winner in overtime from Ghost earned two points in a wild win over the Arizona Coyotes.

It was more of the same for the Flyers, who allowed the first goal again and never recovered in a 6-1 loss to the New York Islanders at Wells Fargo Center on Saturday afternoon.

On nights like these, you see that the Flyers have a work issue. It’s selective, turned on and off like a switch. It’s a big reason the team is as inconsistent as it gets. That’s a team-wide problem from coaching to players that will get them in trouble in the standings fast.

Flyers forward Nolan Patrick will be out for 7-to-10 days with an upper-body injury, according to GM Ron Hextall.

There were some sloppy moments and areas of struggle that will be a concern moving forward, but for now, embrace the result after a pathetic effort one night earlier. Takeaways from Wednesday’s Flyers win in Ottawa in our Postgame Review.

There are certainly new storylines, but there are a lot of familiar ones as well. No matter how you look at it, there’s a lot to keep an eye on during this upcoming Flyers season. Here are 10 storylines you should be watching.

Analysis on the Flyers final roster and the final decisions that were made this weekend.

The Flyerdelphia Podcast is back to look at final cuts and preview the regular season. Topics include: final cuts of Dale Weise and Taylor Leier, Carter Hart and Phil Myers, expectations for the regular season, Jori Lehtera, Gritty and Scott Hartnell’s retirement.

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.

While there were dicey moments during the first couple of periods, the Flyers got some solid performances from some additions to the lineup and players making one last push to be on the roster. More from some of the standouts from the Flyers win over the Bruins in our Postgame Review.

It wasn’t a pretty game from start to finish, but a strong third period led the Flyers to a 4-1 win over the Bruins in the preseason finale on Saturday from TD Garden.

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.

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 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.

For many players in Tuesday’s game, a trip to the Phantoms is likely soon enough, but they showed their skill as well in a 5-1 Flyers win over the Islanders on Tuesday night at Barclays Center.

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

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?
