The Philadelphia Flyers kicked off 2018 with an embarrassing effort in front of the Wells Fargo Center crowd on Tuesday night, falling to their biggest rival, the Pittsburgh Penguins, 5-1. Philly fell asleep in the middle of the second period, surrendering four goals in four minutes to the Pens, including a pair of goals to…
There is no perfect way to predict a prospect’s success in the NHL. One of the better ways to predict a prospect’s success, however, is by finding out a player’s NHL equivalency, or NHLe. This is a measure that attempts to equate how many points a certain player would produce in the NHL by using…

It’s safe to say that the Flyers are tired of seeing Jonathan Quick and the Los Angeles Kings. Quick made 36 saves and the Kings swept the season series with the Flyers with a 4-1 win at the Wells Fargo Center on Monday night. The Kings improved to 11-1-1 when holding a lead after two…
