The numbers looked bleak as the third period began. The St. Louis Blues had lost just three times when leading after two periods. The Flyers had just two wins when trailing after 40 minutes. With their playoff hopes on life support, points are crucial in every game. The Flyers made the third period count, scoring […]
View image | gettyimages.com As the Flyers continue to push for a playoff spot, the schedule gets increasingly more difficult as they play eight of the next 11 games against Western Conference teams, many of which are securely in the playoff picture. Thursday continues that stretch as the St. Louis Blues come to town […]
Through two periods, the Flyers didn't look like a team that believed in a playoff run. The third was a different story. The Flyers roared back and erased a two-goal deficit to force overtime and close the playoff gap to five. But they could do no better as Jiri Hudler scored in overtime to give […]

Again, the Flyers turned in a familiar result. A […]

The Flyers goalie situation continues to be the walking wounded. Add Ray Emery to the list. Emery is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and did not make the trip with the Flyers for two road games this week in Carolina and Toronto. Rookie Anthony Stolarz will back-up Rob Zepp in Tuesday's game in Carolina.
