The Philadelphia Flyers will finally return to action tonight as they welcome Scott Hartnell and the Columbus Blue Jackets to the Wells Fargo Center for a Metropolitan Division clash. This is the first game for the Flyers in six days. Game time is 7:00.
Six games into the season, the Flyers had one win – and a very poor one at that. They had four points in the standings, one from a blown game against Montreal at home on Oct. 11, where a 3-0 lead in the final period ended in a 4-3 shootout loss. They had another point […]
Three wins gave the Flyers plenty of standout performers. But it has been impossible to ignore the tear Jake Voracek has been on in the last two weeks. Voracek extended his points streak to eight games with six points in three games this week. Voracek scored two goals in Tuesday's win over the Oilers, added […]
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 […]
The Flyers couldn't have asked for a better start to a four-game homestand, securing wins against the Oilers and Panthers both by 4-1 finals. The next opponent for the Orange and Black also comes from the Western Conference, as the Colorado Avalanche make their only appearance of the season at Wells Fargo Center. The opening […]
When the Flyers faced the Florida Panthers on Saturday, taking a 2-1 loss, they didn't beat Roberto Luongo until there were just seven seconds left in regulation. They made up for it on Thursday. The Flyers scored twice in the first and twice more in the second as they beat the Panthers, 4-1, from Wells […]

(Photo by Amy Irvin/38Photography) When the Flyers faced a short-handed Florida Panthers team on Saturday, they struggled to gain time in the offensive zone to make any attempt at scoring. The Panthers didn't have the greatest offensive game, but two goals […]

What mattered was the effort of his own players. The Flyers turned in their best game of the season on Tuesday, […]
Jake Voracek scores his first of two goals in the Flyers 4-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. (Photo by Amy Irvin/38 Photography) The Flyers were dealt a similar hand to the one they couldn't take advantage of on Saturday. The Oilers were coming in without their captain and leading scorer Taylor Hall. […]
