- March 16, 2016 - The Flyers defeated the Blackhawks, 3-2, in Chicago. Marian Hossa scored shorthanded before the Flyers tied the game on a deflection by Ryan White.

With just over 10 minutes to play in the game, Radko Gudas scored to give the Flyers the lead and they held off the Blackhawks for the win.
- A Look Back in Flyers History - Instead of reliving the obvious standout moment from 2010, we're going with one of more jubilation. Down 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Final, an overtime goal by Claude Giroux lifted the Flyers to a Game 3 win and back into the series.
