Finland is on top of the hockey world again after a 3-1 win over Canada in the Gold Medal Game at World Championships.
Team Canada advanced to the Gold Medal Game on Sunday with a 3-0 win over Czech Republic. They will face Finland in the title game on Sunday.
Eight Flyers players participated in the quarterfinals of the World Championships held on Thursday. In the first two games, nearly half of the group was eliminated. That was before Canada got a miracle.
Eight of the Flyers nine participants in World Championships are advancing to the tournament round. Here’s how the players on each team have fared so far.
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 called up defenseman Mark Friedman from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms ahead of Saturday’s season finale and sent down Phil Myers, GM Chuck Fletcher announced on Friday.
The Rangers handled the Flyers easily on Sunday, as Alexandar Georgiev came through with 29 saves in a shutout win as the Flyers fell to the Rangers, 3-0, at Wells Fargo Center.
The Capitals didn’t win Thursday’s game with their stars, but their depth, getting good goaltending when they needed it and players to step up. For the Flyers, it was a reminder that a young defense can still pay the price for costly mistakes and that the depth needs to improve.
Two goals in 65 seconds put the Capitals in control in a 5-2 win against the Flyers on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center.
The Flyers did what they had to against the Ottawa Senators. After falling behind in the first period, they stayed the course, got their legs, took the lead in the second and handled business against the NHL’s worst team this season in a 3-2 win.
