The Phantoms got a 2-1 Game 1 win over the Charlotte Checkers on a late power-play goal by Greg Carey, but the win came at a cost as Travis Sanheim was helped off the ice after a late knee-on-knee collision.

There are certainly varying opinions of the Flyers captain across the spectrum of the league. Even after posting the best season of his career at age 30, making the switch to the wing and essentially carrying the Flyers into the playoffs down the stretch, Giroux’s legacy remains cloudy.

With the Philadelphia Flyers season officially coming to an end, it’s time to preview what the Flyers could consider doing during the offseason. Here in Part 1, we look at the team’s contracts, and which players are most likely receive an extension while others could be released.

Maxim Lamarche scored the game-winning goal with 1:24 left in overtime, giving the Phantoms a 4-3 win and sending them to the second round of the Calder Cup Playoffs with a 3-1 series win.

There will certainly be a lot of things to look at moving forward for the Flyers now that the 2017-18 season has come to a close. For starters, here’s a look back at Sunday’s game and the series as a whole.

The Penguins got the game tied by the end of the second period, as Jake Guentzel scored the tying goal with 54 seconds left. In the third, Guentzel scored three more goals, giving the Penguins a 8-5 win over the Flyers in Game 6 and bringing the Flyers season to an end.

The Flyers returned to Pittsburgh down 3-1 in the series and found a way to beat the Penguins and get the series back to Philadelphia. That sets the stage for Game 6 at Wells Fargo Center on Sunday.
