Top Flyers News

  • Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Facing Bruins

    Ersson will be between the home pipes versus Boston on Saturday, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

    Ersson has solidified his spot as the No. 1 goaltender with the Flyers, winning his last three starts. Ersson is 4-2-1 with a 2.73 GAA and an .897 save percentage in eight appearances this season. Boston has been slumping recently, losing five of six games while finding the back of the net nine times heading into Saturday's matchup.

  • Flyers' Scott Laughton: Snags assist in win

    Laughton recorded an assist in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blues.

    Laughton snapped a six-game point drought with his helper on Bobby Brink's game-winning goal in the third period. The 30-year-old Laughton continues to see middle-six minutes as usual, though as a defensive forward, he doesn't tend to make a big impact on offense. He's up to five points, 14 shots on net, 38 hits, six PIM and a minus-5 rating through 11 contests.

  • Flyers' Garnet Hathaway: Opens scoring Thursday

    Hathaway scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blues.

    The tally opened the scoring at 11:12 of the first period. Hathaway also saw 14:12 of ice time, his second-highest mark in 11 games, which was likely a product of Matvei Michkov getting benched for a few shifts. Hathaway has five points, 15 shots on net, 31 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-1 rating this season, playing primarily on the Flyers' fourth line.

  • Flyers' Bobby Brink: Collects game-winner Thursday

    Brink scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 2-1 victory over the Blues.

    The 23-year-old cashed in a neutral-zone giveaway by St. Louis with just over three minutes left in the third period, converting a slick give-and-go with Joel Farabee in between three defenders. Brink snapped a three-game point drought in the process, a mini-slump that was sandwiched around a three-game stint as a healthy scratch, and he may not have completely escaped head coach John Tortorella's doghouse just yet -- he saw the least ice time of any Flyer on Thursday, although he did take shifts on the second power-play unit. On the season, Brink has two goals and five points in eight contests with 17 shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-3 rating.

  • Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Sharp in fourth win

    Ersson stopped 20 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blues.

    Neither goalie was particularly busy in a tight-checking affair, but Ersson was just a little bit sharper than Jordan Binnington. The Flyers' No. 1 netminder has won three straight starts to boost his record to 4-2-1 in eight appearances, and while Ersson's 2.73 GAA and .897 save percentage aren't elite, they're significantly better than Ivan Fedotov's 5.35 GAA and .821 save percentage.

  • Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Slated to start Thursday

    Ersson is expected to serve as the starting goaltender for Thursday's home game against the Blues, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Ersson put together his first shutout win of the season Tuesday against the Bruins, and he'll start for a second consecutive game Thursday. The 25-year-old has been somewhat inconsistent over his first seven outings this year, posting a 3-2-1 record, 2.99 GAA and .891 save percentage.

  • Flyers' Emil Andrae: Grabs first career point

    Andrae notched an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Bruins.

    This was Andrae's second appearance of the campaign. The defenseman has seen third-pairing minutes, though he's also picking up time on the power play with Cam York (upper body) hurt and Egor Zamula sitting as a healthy scratch. In addition to his first career point, Andrae has one shot on net, three hits, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over two outings.

  • Flyers' Morgan Frost: Picks up helper in win

    Frost logged an assist, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Bruins.

    Frost has two helpers over the last three games. The 25-year-old center continues to see reduced ice time -- he played 12:30 in Tuesday's contests and hasn't been over 14 minutes in four of his last five games. He's earned five assists (four on the power play), 24 shots on net, nine hits, 10 blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-11 rating over 10 appearances this season. While Frost's talent is evident, he needs to clean up his overall game to get back in the good graces of head coach John Tortorella.

  • Flyers' Joel Farabee: Fills empty cage

    Farabee scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Bruins.

    Farabee has gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive contests following a five-game slump. The 24-year-old winger is up to two goals, three assists, 16 shots, 14 hits, nine PIM and a minus-6 rating over 10 appearances. Farabee's upside remains limited in a third-line role, though he is seeing power-play time.

  • Flyers' Tyson Foerster: Buries opening goal

    Foerster scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Bruins.

    Foerster opened the scoring at 5:32 of the second period, and his goal stood as the game-winner. The 22-year-old winger hadn't scored since Opening Night, and he was a scratch last Tuesday amid a slump. Through nine appearances, he has two goals, one assist, 11 shots on net, seven hits, 19 PIM and a minus-4 rating. When in the lineup, Foerster has often played in a top-six role with power-play time, but that could change if his production continues to lag.

  • Flyers' Samuel Ersson: Makes 23 saves in shutout win

    Ersson posted a 23-save shutout in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Bruins.

    Ersson won his second start in a row and earned the sixth shutout of his NHL career in this outing. He was in control throughout the game and needed to be sharp given the tight margin -- the Flyers didn't get a multi-goal lead until their empty-netter in the final minute. Ersson is 3-2-1 with a 3.00 GAA and an .890 save percentage through seven appearances (six starts). He's been the Flyers' best option in goal early on, as Ivan Fedotov and Aleksei Kolosov have yet to make a positive impression.

  • Flyers' Samuel Ersson: In net versus Boston

    Ersson will get the starting nod in Tuesday's road tilt against the Bruins, per Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic.

    Ersson has been unsteady between the pipes lately, allowing 12 goals over his last three appearances. The 25-year-old will draw a Boston club scoring 3.00 goals per game through nine matchups. Ersson sports a 2-2-1 record, .872 save percentage and 3.56 GAA across six appearances.

  • Flyers' Nicolas Deslauriers: Secures first assist

    Deslauriers registered an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

    Deslauriers saw a season-low 5:24 of ice time Sunday, though he's yet to exceed seven minutes in any of his four appearances. The 33-year-old is a rare pure enforcer, producing nine hits, five PIM and two shots on net so far. He isn't guaranteed to stay in the lineup over Bobby Brink, and Deslauriers isn't really an option in any fantasy format given his minimal usage.

  • Flyers' Garnet Hathaway: Slings helper in loss

    Hathaway produced an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

    Hathaway snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The 32-year-old winger remains firmly in a fourth-line role, adding more grit than offense to the bottom of the Flyers' lineup. He has four assists, 10 shots on net, 25 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-1 rating over nine appearances this season.

  • Flyers' Ryan Poehling: Logs assist in loss

    Poehling notched an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

    The defensive center got on the scoresheet for the first time in five games with this helper. Poehling's work rate in his own zone keeps him in the lineup, and he doesn't have to score to keep head coach John Tortorella happy. Poehling is at four helpers, six shots on net, six hits, 16 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through nine appearances in a bottom-six role.
