The Flyers are third in the division and just extended a key player. The players and GM Daniel Briere are ready to end a five-year drought.

In their first home game of the 2026 calendar year, the Philadelphia Flyers hit the midway point of their 2025-26 schedule with a 5-2 victory against the Anaheim Ducks at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

With just under six minutes left — in front of a roaring, sold-out crowd that was caught up in the physical, give-no-quarter game against a very good George Washington team — Jaiun Simon transformed himself from a Dayton Flyers’ forward into Leonard Bernstein.

Owen Tippett and Nick Seeler each had a goal and an assist to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers.

Matvei Michkov was back on the ice Tuesday for the Flyers’ morning skate at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Head coach Rick Tocchet said an X-ray on Michkov’s left foot came back negative and that the 21-year-old winger was a game-time decision for the Flyers’ matchup with the Ducks (7 p.m. ET/NBCSP).
