View image | gettyimages.com As the Flyers continue to push for a playoff spot, the schedule gets increasingly more difficult as they play eight of the next 11 games against Western Conference teams, many of which are securely in the playoff picture. Thursday continues that stretch as the St. Louis Blues come to town […]
View image | gettyimages.com When Ron Hextall was introduced as the Flyers new general manager, it was clear from the beginning he had a plan. Of course, there were going to be obstacles along the way. Carry-over contracts from Paul Holmgren's tenure as GM forced Hextall to be creative in the ways he was […]
View image | gettyimages.com It may be the day after the deadline, but the Flyers look is essentially the same.

Nick Grossmann went down with an upper-body injury against the Capitals on Jan. 8. Most recently, on […]
The beaten and battered Flyers continue to deal with injuries and the list got longer on Monday. In Monday's 7-4 loss to the Islanders, defensemen Nick Schultz and Carlo Colaiacovo suffered injuries. Both are listed as questionable for Tuesday night's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins with upper-body injuries.
Nick Grossmann left late in the first period of the Flyers 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals on Thursday night after taking a clean hit from Tom Wilson. The Flyers announced during the game that Grossmann would not return with an upper-body injury. That description did not change on Friday, but the Flyers did announce […]
Just as it did on Tuesday, another game came down to the final moments for the Flyers. Just as they did on Tuesday, they found a way to win. A power play in overtime gave the Flyers a chance to make something happen. They wasted no time. Just 17 seconds into the power play, Jake […]
