The Philadelphia Flyers entered this season with plenty of optimism. It is easy to understand why, as they not only made the playoffs last season but also made it to the second round.
It wasn’t always pretty, but the Seattle Kraken recovered after coughing up a two-goal lead and kept the Philadelphia Flyers’ historic season-opening winless streak alive with a 3-2 shootout victory.
Even though the NHL season is a grind, a slow start can still be a cause for some concern. Especially when it is a start as bad as the one the Philadelphia Flyers are off to at the beginning of the 2026-27 season.

People love a good mid-round draft pick that pans out, and in the NHL you used to see those fairly often, but that’s obviously partially luck. If the Red Wings thought Nicklas Lidstrom was going to become a top-five defenseman in history, they wouldn’t have waited until the 53rd pick to take him.
In today’s NHL rumour rundown, we start off with Trevor Zegras and the controversy following his penalty for having his jersey tucked in. Next, the Buffalo Sabres are heading into the regular season with two injured goalies; will they look to the trade market?
The Philadelphia Flyers have a knack for going viral. Whether it’s on-ice antics, fan engagement, or Gritty’s usual nonsense, the Flyers get disproportionate attention compared to their actual performance and NHL impact.
Trevor Zegras has built a career on flair. On Thursday night, that same flair earned him two minutes in the penalty box for a tucked-in jersey. Midway through the second period of Philadelphia’s 2-0 preseason win over the Boston Bruins at Xfinity Mobile Arena, Zegras hopped over the boards with the back of his sweater stuffed into his pants.
Trevor Zegras became the subject of an NHL punishment not seen in 13 years during the Philadelphia Flyers’ preseason victory over the Boston Bruins. Zegras received a two-minute minor for “improperly wearing equipment” at 9:51 of the second period Thursday after beginning his shift with his jersey tucked into his pants.
Consider it the NHL’s version of the ‘Tuck Rule’. During Thursday’s 2-0 preseason win over the Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers forward Trevor Zegras
For the past few years, the Philadelphia Flyers could point to the rebuild whenever things went sideways. The roster was young. Bad contracts had to come off the books. Prospects needed time. That explanation will not carry nearly as much weight next season.
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
Trevor Zegras was a critical addition to the Philadelphia Flyers’ roster in 2025-26, immediately taking on a starring role offensively and helping the franchise win a Stanley Cup Playoff round for the first time since 2020.
The Leo Carlsson saga has been making headlines this summer in the NHL. And for good reason! It's not often that teams consider launching a hostile bid, and when it happens, it causes quite a stir.

The Philadelphia Flyers received a huge boost to their playoff push late in the season when 2025 first-round pick and top prospect Porter Martone left Michigan State and signed his first NHL contract.
Trevor Zegras had a night to savor. Zegras put on a show in his first meeting with the Anaheim Ducks since getting traded to the Philadelphia Flyers last offseason.
