The Flyers got the all-important first goal that dictated results of late, and did hold the lead after the first period. But something about the first period didn't add up. The Flyers led, but were massively out-played by the East-leading Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning turned things on in the second and scored two quick […]

The Flyers most complete game in recent memory came on Thursday night against New Jersey. Their most dominant and lopsided performance came Saturday afternoon against Carolina. A 5-1 win over the Hurricanes marked the Flyers fifth straight game with at least a point in the standings. Lately, the points have been finding the Flyers both […]
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good – so long as you don't make it a habit. But after three straight games of it – including Tuesday night against the Blue Jackets - it's certainly turned into one.

A goal by Brayden Schenn in the final minute of regulation just barely trickled over the line to force overtime. But in the extra session, the Flyers chances were thwarted by Sergei Bobrovsky before Kevin […]

It had been two long weeks since the Flyers claimed a win. After six games of frustration, the Flyers finally came out on the right end of a final score. Steve Mason was a big reason for that, stopping 37 of 38 shots to down the Kings in the Flyers 2-1 win on Saturday afternoon. […]
Wayne Simmonds stayed with the puck and found a way to beat Frederik Andersen in the closing seconds of the third. Unlike Tuesday's result, the Flyers stole a point just before the buzzer. But the result remained the same, as the Ducks defeated the Flyers in a shootout for the second time this season. It […]
Tuesday night's game against the Sharks had two different feels. On one hand, the Flyers were playing their best game in recent memory. And they were buzzing toward the end of regulation. As overtime neared, visions of the Flyers win against Los Angeles in late October were in mind. The Flyers just needed the finish, […]
