Photo Courtesy of Kate Frese The Flyers found themselves in a dire predicament over their past two games, as they were shut out in quick order by San Jose and Ottawa, respectively.

At long last, the wait is over. It only took 17 games, but Jakub Voracek finally scored a goal in 2015-16. He picked a pretty convenient time to do so, as it helped lift the Flyers to a 3-2 comeback win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.
View image | gettyimages.com Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris that left at least 129 killed and 352 injured left an impact that was not just felt in France, but the rest of the world as well. That impact is also being felt in the Flyers' dressing room. One of a handful of French-born players […]
