Uncalled penalties and sloppy play in all zones held the Flyers back tonight. Despite keeping the shots in their favor (33-25), they fell 6-2 to the Anaheim Ducks in their most discouraging effort of the season. Here’s Radko Gudas with a good representation of how the game went tonight. pic.twitter.com/vK1k2ceWA4 — steph (@myregularface) October 24,…
82 — the number of NHL games Sean Couturier played in between April 2, 2016 (the day of a 3-2 Flyers win over the Ottawa Senators) and Monday night’s loss to the Arizona Coyotes. Why’s that game against the Sens significant? Because it was the last time Couturier scored a power play goal prior to…
The Flyers head into today’s game coming off of a thrilling 2-1 win vs the Edmonton Oilers, looking to make it two in a row and four wins in their past five games. They’ll look to accomplish this feat against the 3-3-1 Anaheim Ducks. Anaheim comes into this contest after dominating a dismantled Montreal Canadiens…

When the Flyers announced that Andrew MacDonald would be out for 4-6 weeks following an injury he suffered on October 21 against the Oilers, many fans were wondering if Samuel Morin — who narrowly missed out on a roster spot following the training camp competition between himself, Robert Hagg, and Travis Sanheim — would find…
The Flyers played their first afternoon game of the season yesterday and after a bit of a bumpy start it ended in an exciting 2-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers. The Flyers allowed way too many turnovers and gave the Oilers way too many chances, but thanks to some late game heroics by Wayne Simmonds…
In the month of October, the Flyers went 6-5-1 in 12 games good for 13 points and two points ahead of Boston, Washington, and Detroit for the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.
