Flyers

Petr Mrazek turned in his best start in his young career with the Flyers, stopped 28 shots through 65 minutes and then another four in the shootout as the Flyers claimed a 1-0 win via the shootout over the Montreal Canadiens to climb into first place in the Metropolitan Division.

Aside from adding veteran defenseman Johnny Oduya through waivers, the Flyers remained quiet at the deadline. GM Ron Hextall met with the media following the deadline and focused on the team’s current success while noting that prices were just too high to warrant a deal.

The Flyers face the Montreal Canadiens, this time on the road, for the third and final time this season, with each of the first two matches coming earlier this month.

The Flyers claimed defenseman Johnny Oduya off waivers from the Ottawa Senators, GM Ron Hextall announced. The team also lost defenseman Mark Alt to the Colorado Avalanche through waivers.

For a change, Flyers GM Ron Hextall can look at the market and see if there are any options that improve the team in the here and now at the trade deadline. Despite the rise in the standings and the flurry of activity from Eastern Conference counterparts, he needs to stay the course.

The Philadelphia Flyers continue to climb the division standings after a 5-3 win over the lowly Ottawa Senators.

The Philadelphia Flyers are in search for an elusive fifth-straight win and their first victory over the Ottawa Senators this season in a Saturday afternoon tilt.

This about another tight hockey game where the Flyers managed to stay the course and overcome some adversity to claim two points again in a 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Petr Mrazek was excellent in his Flyers debut, while Nolan Patrick, filling in for Wayne Simmonds on the power play, scored the game-winning goal on the man advantage in a 2-1 win for the Flyers over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center.
