The 2018-19 season was another year in what has been a roller-coaster career for Shayne Gostisbehere, who followed up a career-high 65 points with a career-low 37 points. So the question arises again: which version of Gostisbehere will the Flyers get this season?

The Flyers rookies will be the first to take the ice ahead of the 2019-20 season with Rookie Camp. The camp will run from Saturday, Sept. 7 through Wednesday, Sept. 11, culminating with the Rookie Game between the Flyers rookies and New York Islanders rookies at PPL Center in Allentown.

For every team that made a big signing as free agency opened, it is a calculated risk. The New York Rangers landed prize forward Artemi Panarin and are waging their success on him. The Flyers made their bet before free agency began on Kevin Hayes, Matt Niskanen and Justin Braun.

Get to know the Flyers first-round draft pick, defenseman Cam York, with our scouting report.

The Flyers are holding out hope that Niskanen’s on-ice performance improves to form while his off-ice intangibles serve as the immediate value. Niskanen has gone the distance with a team before. He’s been the veteran in a group of young defensemen. He’s had to be a leader, saying on Friday that he “grew into” the role.

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.

The Flyers didn’t get much help in the playoff race, but did close the margin to five points with another convincing win over the Islanders, and the margin will remain until the team takes the ice again on Monday night.

The Capitals scored twice in the first period and added three quick goals in the second to put the game away early and held off the Flyers comeback in a 5-3 win on Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center.

For a change, the Flyers got off to a quick start and never looked back, leading nearly wire to wire in a 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres that, for now, improved their playoff hopes slightly.

Unlike their last game outside at Lincoln Financial Field, no comeback was needed at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday. A hot start paced the Flyers to a 5-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres.

A power-play goal, an unlikely goal and a heroic goal by the captain turned a 3-1 deficit late into a 4-3 win in the 2019 Stadium Series over the Penguins. For now, it keeps the Flyers in the playoff race when it all looked like the end. It’s the biggest win of the season for the Flyers, who for one night, gave nearly 70,000 people a chance to celebrate.

The Flyers 5-1 loss to the Canadiens was flat out embarrassing, against a team they were chasing in the standings no less. The lack of motivation to play, the lack of preparation, was reminiscent of the team that fired its GM in November and its coach in December.

Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas was suspended for two games for high-sticking Nikita Kucherov in Tuesday’s game against Tampa Bay.

The weekend provided fodder for many different topics as the trade deadline approaches, from the Flyers acquisition of Cam Talbot, to Wayne Simmonds’ deadline fate, to signs of a possible moving on from Shayne Gostisbehere.

For the second straight game, the Red Wings fired 38 shots Carter Hart’s way. This time, Hart made 37 saves, leading the Flyers in a 3-1 win over Detroit.

The Flyers have recalled forward Justin Bailey from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, GM Chuck Fletcher announced on Sunday morning.

GM Chuck Fletcher said that both Schlemko and Froese will report to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and that left the Flyers with 12 forwards and six defensemen on the roster. To add to the roster, the Flyers called up defenseman Phil Myers from the Phantoms.

The Phantoms opened the month of November with a home-and-home against the Binghamton Devils and split the results, falling in overtime in Binghamton and rallying for a comeback win in overtime on Saturday.

This week, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms posted two strong victories before suffering a loss on Sunday afternoon.

The Phantoms had their first 3-in-3 weekend and posted a 1-1-1 record over the weekend, with the team losing both of Carter Hart’s starts and getting a win in the season debut for Alex Lyon.
