The Blue Jackets claimed a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night as Seth Jones scored with 32.3 seconds remaining in the overtime.

The Columbus Blue Jackets may have loaded up at the trade deadline, but they currently sit outside of the playoff picture with 19 games to play. The Flyers are six points behind Columbus, looking to cut into that margin.

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.

Following the trade deadline, the Flyers move forward with the remainder of the season, trying to continue the playoff push. They can leapfrog one team ahead of them in the standings on Tuesday night, as they face the Buffalo Sabres.

After a long eight-year career as a Philadelphia Flyer, Wayne Simmonds will be moving onto his new team. We take a look back at the path that he has been on since arriving back in 2011-2012.

The Flyers only move at the trade deadline was an expected one. They have bid farewell to Wayne Simmonds.

The Flyers traded forward Wayne Simmonds to the Nashville Predators in exchange for forward Ryan Hartman and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2020.

With the NHL’s trade deadline hitting on Monday at 3 p.m., the time has come for Chuck Fletcher’s first chance to make his mark on the Flyers and their future.

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.

Claude Giroux scored at 1:59 of overtime to seal a 4-3 win over the Penguins, after the Flyers completed a two-goal comeback in the final four minutes of the third, giving the Flyers the win in the 2019 Stadium Series at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday night.

The Flyers and Penguins are ready to take it outside. Lincoln Financial Field serves as the backdrop as the Flyers look to keep any playoff hopes remaining alive in their final game before the all-important trade deadline. 

The Flyers announced on Saturday morning that goalie Carter Hart will be out at least 10 days with a lower-body injury.

As another installment of the always entertaining “Battle of Pennsylvania” approaches between the Flyers and Penguins in the 2019 Stadium Series, let’s take a look back at some of the most notable happenings throughout the history of this bitter rivalry.

Perhaps the fourth time will be the charm. This is not the Flyers first rodeo in an outdoor setting. They have been on this stage three times before, but have yet to get a win.

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.

Brendan Gallagher scored a hat trick and the Canadiens rolled to an easy 5-1 win over the Flyers on Thursday night.

With 22 games left on the schedule for the Flyers, each one gets bigger and bigger. Thursday’s may be their biggest yet, as they travel to face the Montreal Canadiens.

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

Three goals in the first 10:23 chased Carter Hart and the Flyers suffered a 5-2 defeat to the Lightning on Tuesday night.

The Flyers kept things rolling with back-to-back wins over the Detroit Red Wings over the weekend to improve to 12-2-1 in their last 15 games. They get a tough task on Tuesday at home, facing the NHL-leading Tampa Bay Lightning.

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.

The week ahead for the Flyers is a critical one, both on and off the ice. The trade deadline is one week away from Monday. The Flyers will also play three games that should define where their playoff hopes stand during the week, providing some added transparency into their playoff push and their deadline plans.

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 managed to blow a four-goal lead in the third period to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday before pulling out a 6-5 overtime win over Detroit. Now, the home-and-home series shifts to Detroit, where the Flyers will look to sweep the season series and keep their recent run going.

The Flyers won in overtime, 6-5. In the end, it doesn’t matter how the points come, as long as they keep coming. But against the lowly Red Wings, this was a game that the Flyers needed to lock down and didn’t do it. Sure, they survived, but it sets the stage for a difficult game to come on Sunday in the back end of a home-and-home.

The Red Wings erased a 5-1 deficit to force overtime, but the Flyers still managed to secure two points as Travis Konecny scored the game-winner in a 6-5 overtime win.

The Flyers start a weekend home-and-home with the Detroit Red Wings, a team that enters the weekend in the bottom five in the NHL standings.

The Flyers acquired goalie Cam Talbot from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for goalie Anthony Stolarz, GM Chuck Fletcher announced shortly after midnight on Saturday morning.
