In total, 17 forwards of 18 in camp and 10 defensemen of 12 in camp made the roster. All four goalies from camp made the trip. Here is the Flyers final roster for Phase 4.

On Thursday, the Flyers had another scrimmage scheduled and again, Carter Hart was not on the playing roster, the second straight day he missed practice after leaving early on Tuesday. However, there was positive news when Hart took the ice for a short workout and to face a few shots from teammates after the scrimmage.

Day 10 of Phase 3 Flyers camp featured another absence from Carter Hart, though head coach Alain Vigneault is not concerned, and a possible late add to the Flyers roster for Toronto that would be remarkable.

Oskar Lindblom has signed a three-year extension with the Flyers with an average annual value of $3 million. The 23-year-old, who just completed his cancer treatments earlier this month, is staying in Philly.

Flyers forward Sean Couturier is a finalist for the Selke Trophy, along with Boston’s Patrice Bergeron and St. Louis’ Ryan O’Reilly.

Oskar Lindblom, named a finalist for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy on Thursday, shared his journey to recovery from cancer in an article on Sports Illustrated.

The overall turnaround for the Flyers has earned Alain Vigneault a Jack Adams nomination as one of three finalists for the award given to the coach of the year. For Vigneault, this one is special for a specific reason.

Host Kyle Collington and co-host Kevin Durso are joined by a new guest, Josh Guertler to talk about everything from Oskar Lindblom’s final treatments to the latest on the NHL’s return to play and much more.

Oskar Lindblom, who exited the lineup after his diagnosis with Ewing’s sarcoma in December, was on the ice and skating during Phase 2 workouts in Voorhees on Tuesday.

Despite the ongoing pause due to the pandemic, voting is underway for NHL awards and the Flyers are sure to be represented with candidates in a handful of categories. 

According to Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Flyers forward Oskar Lindblom will undergo his final cancer treatments very soon.

Ron Hextall was fired as Flyers GM over a year ago in late November of 2018 and yet his fingerprints remain all over this roster. In an interview with NBC Sports Philadelphia’s John Clark, Hextall expressed his feelings for the current team and the young players experiencing some success.

For the next few weeks, we’ll take a look back on several playoff series in Flyers history, both won and lost by the Flyers, and review them to see some of the turning points within the series and how the result could have been different. We begin with the Flyers last playoff series back in 2018 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher addressed the media via a conference call for the first time since the NHL suspended play amid the Coronavirus pandemic and touched on a number of topics from the status of players to recent prospect signings to the possibility of a return to play.

It remains a mystery at this point if and when the season will return. Who knows how much of a regular season will be left after this suspension? Who knows what the playoffs will look like? But whenever the league comes out of this stoppage and gets back to playing, let it be known that the Flyers window to compete is just opening up.

It was only natural to feel disappointment that the NHL season was put on pause at a time when the Flyers were the hottest team in the league. But for the sake of one of the driving forces behind the success and unity of this year’s team, it was a necessary stoppage that provided a lot of perspective.

With the recent struggles and inconsistencies over the last 10 games, the Philadelphia Flyers are looking for some resurgence in multiple areas of their game.

For years, a key member of the core of the team would represent the Flyers at the All-Star Game — usually Claude Giroux and occasionally Jake Voracek or Wayne Simmonds. At 22, Konecny enters the national spotlight with his first All-Star appearance, perhaps only scratching the surface of his potential.

Andrei Vasilevskiy posted a shutout for the second straight game and the Lightning showed a real commitment to defensive play and taking away virtually everything the Flyers could have brought to the table. There was simply no room to operate, no room to execute and when the Flyers were able to pump the puck deep, they could not win the races because the Lightning were perfectly placed.

The Flyers announced that defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere will have arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and miss approximately three weeks. In addition, they called up forward David Kase from the Phantoms and sent down forward Mikhail Vorobyev.

A 1-4-1 record on the six-game road trip that concluded on Tuesday has certainly changed all narratives. The Flyers are facing an important crossroads as the schedule returns to feature plenty of games at home.

The Flyers took full advantage of a team without their top player and captain. In the first period, they scored three goals in a span of 4:01. In the second period, they added three more in a span of 4:07. That was more than enough in a 6-1 win on Thursday night that continued the team’s incredible run of success on home ice.

Seeing Oskar Lindblom provided a lift for the rest of the Flyers, who “won for Oskar” on Tuesday night against the Ducks.

Flyers forward Joel Farabee has been suspended for three games for a late hit on Winnipeg’s Mathieu Perreault in Sunday’s loss to the Jets.

Teams go through a lot of the same things — notably injuries — and find ways to overcome them and be successful. At the end of the day, this is just three games on an 82-game schedule. Three games do not wipe out what the Flyers had done over the previous 20.

An early goal was not nearly enough to jumpstart the Flyers, who quickly fell behind and never recovered in a 4-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night.

With Oskar Lindblom certainly on their minds, the Flyers will get back on the ice for the first time since a 3-1 loss in Colorado, looking to get back to the win column. They take on the Minnesota Wild, a team that has been very good on home ice to the tune of an 8-1-3 record this season.

Nothing changes for Oskar Lindblom on his new journey following a diagnosis of Ewing’s sarcoma. He’s already had to fight to make it to the NHL and done so with a worker’s attitude and drive to succeed. Without a doubt, his new journey and fight to beat this disease is one he’s ready to face too.

Flyers forward Oskar Lindblom has been diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a form of bone cancer, and is not expected to return to play for the remainder of the 2019-20 season.
