Flyers

It’s April and playoff time is in full swing for some of the Flyers prospects. For several players in juniors and college, it’s been a successful postseason so far with only more to come. Here is the latest Minor League Report.

There are just three games remaining in the Flyers season. The Flyers 50th anniversary season, which featured numerous reasons to celebrate the history of the franchise, will come to a close in six days. Just like 10 years ago, when the Flyers celebrated their 40th anniversary season, the Flyers will not be in the playoffs.

Flyers GM Ron Hextall has been named the general manager of Team Canada for the 2017 IIHF World Championship.

The 2016-17 Flyers saw some new blood injected onto the roster with highly-touted rookies Travis Konecny and Ivan Provorov. Watching them, along with Jordan Weal, join the team breathed life into what otherwise has been seen by some as a disappointing season overall.

It’s official: the Flyers will miss the playoffs for the third time in five seasons. A 4-3 loss at the hands of the New York Rangers on Sunday night put the final nail in the coffin, dashing the last remaining playoff hopes for the Flyers.

The Flyers may not be making the playoffs, but they have closed the season to this point with a solid stretch of games, opening up their winning streak to four with Saturday’s emotional win over the Devils. Now they close out the season series with the Rangers, looking to solve their road woes at MSG.

In the Flyers 5-4 loss in Pittsburgh, history was made for one particular Philadelphia player. The Flyers fourth goal was the 50th on the season for the late Rick MacLeish, the first Flyer to ever score 50 goals in a season.

The Flyers have now won four consecutive games.

The Flyers look to beat the Devils for the first time this season with any remaining playoff hopes on the line and elimination looming.
