The swift, quick skating, the impressive puck handling and the precise playmaking ability that we saw of Shayne Gostisbehere in his rookie year seems to be returning. And while credit goes to Gostisbehere himself, credit must be bestowed to Flyers rookie defensemen and pairing partner Robert Hagg.

After playing an exciting 6-5 barn burner in Nashville, the Philadelphia Flyers fell to the Nashville Predators in a 1-0 defensive duel.

After spending the first two weeks of the season in the minors, forward Matt Read was recalled by the Flyers on Thursday, bringing the roster to 23 once again.

The Philadelphia Flyers are looking to avenge a heartbreaking, yet frustrating loss just nine days ago to the Nashville Predators at 7 p.m. from the Wells Fargo Center.

Through six games, the Flyers have 26 goals, the first time they have reached that mark since the 2005-06 season and just the second time they have hit that mark since the 1988-89 season. The increase in scoring to start the season has been extraordinary, and it starts with the three forwards on the top line.

The fourth line for the Flyers has been turning heads so far with their play. As compared to last season’s mediocre fourth line, this year’s trio is breath of fresh air. 

The new top line for the Philadelphia consisting of Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier and Jake Voracek look to be an offensive threat for the Flyers this season.

The Flyers came out firing and scored early and often in a huge win to open the schedule at Wells Fargo Center with a convincing 8-2 victory over the Washington Capitals. Here is the postgame review.

The Flyers opened up their home schedule with a bang, scoring three goals in the second period and three more in the third to take a dominating 8-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center.
