Join Kevin Durso and Rob Riches as they look at some topics we didn’t think we’d be talking about in October on the newest episode of the Flyerdelphia Podcast.

The Flyers recalled forwards Nicolas Aube-Kubel and Tyrell Goulbourne from the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Forward Mikhail Vorobyev was sent down and forward Corban Knight, who left Saturday’s game in the first period, was placed on injured reserve.

It was more of the same for the Flyers, who allowed the first goal again and never recovered in a 6-1 loss to the New York Islanders at Wells Fargo Center on Saturday afternoon.

The Flyers get a chance to rebound against the New York Islanders, a team still trying to find an identity after losing their captain via free agency in the offseason. Game time is at 1 p.m.

It took 33 minutes for the Bruins to strike, but Zdeno Chara’s goal to open the scoring was the only one needed in a 3-0 Flyers loss to the Bruins on Thursday night at TD Garden.

Getting back on the right side of the win column won’t be easy against one of the NHL’s best and most dangerous lines. The Flyers face the Bruins in Boston at 7 p.m.

More than any specific aspect of the game, slow starts have been a consistent problem for the Flyers and not just this season. In fact, the numbers under the Flyers’ current regime of Ron Hextall, Dave Hakstol and all the players of this core show that it’s a trend.

The Flyers have struggled with execution and are struggling to be consistent at anything other than being consistently inconsistent. It’s the same old song and dance that is maddening to Flyers fans. “I’m a pretty patient guy,” GM Ron Hextall said Tuesday, “but things need to start going better here.”

While the Flyers honest answers about their play has been refreshing, it doesn’t serve as a substitute for putting in the work and addressing the problems at hand.

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.

Flyers forward Michael Raffl will be out for four-to-six weeks with a lower-body injury, GM Ron Hextall announced on Tuesday.

On nights like these, you see that the Flyers have a work issue. It’s selective, turned on and off like a switch. It’s a big reason the team is as inconsistent as it gets. That’s a team-wide problem from coaching to players that will get them in trouble in the standings fast.

Colorado outworked the Flyers for the better part of 40 minutes, before the Flyers late push ultimately fizzled into nothing in a 4-1 loss to the Avalanche on Monday night.

The Flyers get a chance at a win in a rematch on Monday night, hosting the Avalanche to close out the season series. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

The guys are back for another episode of the Flyerdelphia Podcast, breaking down the last week in games. The guys discuss Dave Hakstol and lineup decisions, defense, special teams play and more.

Take a look at some of the shots and moments from the Flyers 5-2 win over the Devils through the lens of photographer Kate Frese in this Frese Frame Photo Gallery.

The Flyers 5-2 win over the Devils was an effort the team can build on, simply because it showed what they are capable of when they play at a higher level. To the takeaways in our Postgame Review.

A late goal by Jake Voracek on a two-on-one put the Flyers ahead in the third for good in a 5-2 win for the Flyers over the New Jersey Devils. 

The Flyers return to home ice to face the New Jersey Devils, a team off to a hot start with wins in four of their first five games. Game time is at 1 p.m.

Defense on the Flyers isn’t a problem, it’s an epidemic. And it’s making for some downright unwatchable hockey. Takeaways from another lopsided loss.

The Blue Jackets struck for three goals in the second and two more late in the third in a 6-3 win over the Flyers at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, dropping the Flyers to 3-4-0 on the season.

The Flyers hit the road looking for more consistency on defense as they face Sergei Bobrovsky and the Columbus Blue Jackets. Game time is at 7 p.m.

A 6-5 win certainly features a lot of action, so let’s take a look at some of the shots and moments through the lens of photographer Kate Frese in this Frese Frame Photo Gallery.

Here are the takeaways and analysis from a wild game at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday night between the Flyers and Florida Panthers.
