With that embarrassing 9-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre on Tuesday out of the way, the 2023-24 Philadelphia Flyers season is officially unofficially over.
The Philadelphia Flyers are continuing to add young players to their system, this time acclimating some of their own draft picks to the pro level. Defenseman Matteo Mann, the Flyers’ seventh-round draft choice in 2023 (199th overall), has joined the Reading Royals of the ECHL on an amateur tryout.
In this edition of our Philadelphia Flyers news and rumors report, we cover the team in their last hurrah at trying to qualify for the postseason. We recap
A talented young Swedish player is coming over to North America. On Monday, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Danny Briere announced the team has signed forward Oscar Eklind to a one-year, entry-level contract.
Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella has commented on the team’s goaltending situation a number of times in recent weeks, and it’s been apparent that the Flyers have struggled.
The Philadelphia Flyers are pegged by bookmakers to top the Montreal Canadiens when they match up on Tuesday at 7:00 PM ET, with the visiting Flyers at -142 on the moneyline, and the Canadiens at +120.
The Philadelphia Flyers looked to be on the fast track toward returning to the playoffs after defeating one of the best teams in the NHL. The Flyers' fortunes turned in a hurry, however, losing seven straight games (0-5-2) to fall on the wrong side of the playoff picture since posting a 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins on March 23.
Lost in all the chaos of the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs race, a Philadelphia Flyers franchise record was broken. For those who might not know, Nick Deslauriers set the Flyers’ record for hits in a season last year, recording 306 hits in 80 games.
Now on a seven-game losing streak, the Philadelphia Flyers have hit rock bottom. Losing 6-2 to the worst team in terms of points in the Eastern Conference, the Columbus Blue Jackets, a once all-but guaranteed team to make the postseason, has now become one that may not be touching them at all.
For the first time since the first week of December, the Philadelphia Flyers are out of a playoff spot. A 6-2 blowout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena in early April will do that to you.
Defensemen Damon Severson and Zach Werenski both scored twice as the Columbus Blue Jackets delivered a blow to Philadelphia's playoff chances, topping the visiting Flyers 6-2 on Saturday night.
The Philadelphia Flyers did not have a good game overall tonight, but two of their rookies did in Olle Lycksell and Adam Ginning. Both youngsters potted their first goals in the NHL with Lycksell opening the scoring for the Flyers at 14:32 of the second period and Ginning doing it later on at 15:08 of the third.
The Philadelphia Flyers will look to keep their playoff hopes alive when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night. The Flyers (36-30-11, 83 points) fell for the sixth straight time (0-4-2) with a 4-2 setback to the Buffalo Sabres on Friday.
With just one regulation win in their last six games, the Flyers had a lot of work to do to ensure the third-place Metro Division spot is theirs. Ivan Fedotov was given the nod for his first NHL start.
It is pretty rare for a player to make his season debut in the NHL with just a handful of games left to play. What’s even rarer is a player hitting the ice for the first time nearly a decade after being drafted.
The Philadelphia Flyers have announced that center Sean Couturier has suffered an upper-body injury and is out day-to-day. He will miss the next two games on the schedule.
Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella has been making headlines on what seems like a weekly basis in 2023-24. He has taken a roster that was widely expected to miss the playoffs in a rebuild year, and has it on the verge of a postseason berth with under two weeks left in the regular-season.
Philadelphia Flyers coach John Tortorella spared no punches when talking to the media about his team’s recent struggles. The Flyers hold the third spot in the Metropolitan Division with 83 points, but they are in the midst of a 2-5-3 run over the past 10 games.
TSN: Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ivan Fedotov is 27 years old and a UFA after the season, and it doesn’t sound like he’s going to make it to free agency according to Chris Johnston.
The sinking Flyers will gladly welcome his presence as they fight to turn things around and secure a playoff spot.
Fedotov is an excellent prospect, and if he gets an opportunity, he could be a difference-maker for a surprising Flyers team that was supposed to be one of the worst in the NHL when the season began.
Does the Flyers head coach have his eyes on a position in the front office?
