Wayne Simmonds stayed with the puck and found a way to beat Frederik Andersen in the closing seconds of the third. Unlike Tuesday's result, the Flyers stole a point just before the buzzer. But the result remained the same, as the Ducks defeated the Flyers in a shootout for the second time this season. It […]
It's time for a line change for the Flyers. Game after game, it was one line truly powering the Flyers offense. When they were snuffed out by the New York Islanders on Monday, Craig Berube finally noticed what was obvious for several games. The Flyers have a lot of players who can score. But they […]
For a good portion of Tuesday, the status of captain Claude Giroux was up in the air. Craig Berube didn't know anything. R.J. Umberger played time on the top line while hoping Giroux was good enough to play. Finally, after hours of speculation, Ron Hextall revealed the mildly bad news. Giroux would be out for […]
Five days off on the schedule helped end a five-game home winning streak for the Flyers. But the break was hardly a reason for the Flyers sluggish effort against a reeling Blue Jackets team. Columbus entered Friday night's game on a nine-game losing streak – 0-8-1 in their last nine games – and stunned the […]
Whether it is one of his 157 goals as a Flyer or one of the countless Hartnell down moments, everyone has a memory of Scott Hartnell. The winger spent seven seasons with the Orange and Black before an offseason trade sent him to Columbus. Two of the next five games for the Flyers are against […]
Once again, it's Thursday and it's been a slow week around here with five days between games for the Flyers. But we're about to change all that. It's time to reach into this week's mailbag.
It will go down as one of the unsung plays of the season for the Flyers. In the closing seconds, Nick Grossmann stood tall and blocked a shot by John Mitchell that was bound for the back of the net. A goal would have blown a 4-0 lead in the final 20 minutes. Instead, the […]
When the day began, the Flyers had two of the league leaders in assists. Claude Giroux and Jake Voracek were tied with 13. Voracek extended his lead there while Giroux padded his points total in a different way. It had been since Oct. 18 since Giroux had last scored a goal, an overtime winner in […]
Jake Voracek added two goals on Tuesday to increase his points total to 18 through 12 games this season.

Jake Voracek and the Flyers go for their first home win of the season against the Red Wings on Saturday. (Photo by Amy Irvin/38Photography) The Flyers first win of the season in Dallas a week ago should have given them momentum heading into Chicago. It didn't. But the Flyers did rally the next […]
