At a time when teams are trying to build momentum for the playoffs, the Philadelphia Flyers have been very inconsistent from one game to the next. The Flyers hope to put this trend behind them and build off an impressive win Tuesday night when they host the Buffalo Sabres, who are also looking to string [...]
Joffrey Lupul and the Philadelphia Flyers made quick work of the Nashville Predators. Lupul scored two goals, Martin Biron made 31 saves and Philadelphia beat Nashville 4-1 on Saturday night to snap the Predators’ winning streak at six games. Mike Richards and Claude Giroux also scored to help the Flyers bounce back from a 5-1 [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers nullified their trade for Kyle McLaren on Friday, sending the defenseman back to the San Jose Sharks after he failed a physical. San Jose traded the 12-year NHL veteran to Philadelphia on Wednesday for a sixth-round pick in the upcoming draft. McLaren has spent this season with the Sharks’ top minor-league affiliate [...]
If the Nashville Predators were going to make any headway in the crowded Western Conference playoff picture, they knew they’d have to play well during their five-game homestand. Picking up all 10 points certainly helped them make up some ground. Six wins in a row overall have pulled the Predators into a tie for sixth [...]
Daniel Briere skated off the ice against Calgary fearing his groin injury might keep him out of the lineup a few weeks. Briere left the Philadelphia Flyers practice facility Friday feeling confident he might not miss more than a game. The Flyers center was examined by his surgeon and was told adhesions broke from his [...]
Olli Jokinen had instant chemistry with his new linemates. Jokinen scored two goals in his first game for Calgary, and fellow trade-deadline addition Jordan Leopold also had a goal, leading the Flames to a 5-1 victory against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night. Jokinen, acquired from Phoenix before the deadline Wednesday, centered Calgary’s top line [...]
Olli Jokinen is in his 11th NHL season, but has never been to the playoffs. Joining the Calgary Flames will likely end that drought. Jokinen could make his Flames debut Thursday night, when the Northwest Division-leaders continue their season-high seven-game road trip against the Philadelphia Flyers. Selected third overall in the 1997 draft, Jokinen has [...]
The PHiladelphia Flyers are all back together — just in time to be shaken up again at the trading deadline. Simon Gagne had two goals and an assist and Mike Knuble had a goal and two assists to lead Philadelphia to a 4-2 victory against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night. The Flyers have won [...]
A matchup with the Boston Bruins last month helped the Philadelphia Flyers string together a few victories. They’re probably hoping another contest against the Eastern Conference leaders provides them with a similar opportunity. The Flyers seek to avoid a third straight loss Tuesday night when they face the host Bruins. Philadelphia (33-18-10) dropped five of [...]
Martin Brodeur has found the New Jersey Devils have changed during his almost four-month injury absence. This is a team that not only plays defense, it scores early and often. Brodeur earned his 100th NHL regular-season shutout with a 27-save effort, and the Devils extended their lead in the Atlantic Division with a 3-0 victory [...]
