Bad loss for @NHLFlyers.
On the bright side….
Matvei Michkov reached 123 career points to tieRon Sutter for the fifth most by a player age 21 or younger in franchise history, behind Eric Lindros (193), Peter Zezel (186), Simon Gagne (158) and Bill Barber (133).
Sizzling winger Matvei Michkov scored his 7th and 8th goals, but the @NHLFlyers blew a 2-0 lead and had their 3-game win streak snapped by the visiting Ducks, 5-4. Philly has lost 13 straight games in which they tried to stretch their win streak to 4.
Fun stat: The @AnaheimDucks’ Cutter Gauthier has as many goals (2) as the @NHLFlyers’ Cole Knuble. 😃
The suddenly surging @NHLFlyers host the @AnaheimDucks and Cutter Gauthier today at 1 on @NBCSPhilly. Flyers have won 3 straight.

BLOCKBUSTER TRADE ALERT: Connor Hellebuyck to the Devils thehockeynews.com/news/lates…
.@NHLFlyers will practice Friday morning in Voorhees at 11:30. Free and open to the public.
And he took something off his shot and was very kind to @bernieparent. What a classy man.
So very sad to see this news. I watched Ron Duguay so many times as a Ranger at the Spectrum growing up. After @bernieparent stopped him on a breakaway at the 2012 Flyers vs Rangers Alumni game Ron jumped on our broadcast. He was all class. Ron battled Colorectal Cancer like a warrior. 🙏RIP🙏. May you be at peace and hear the whistles of the crowd. #PuckCancer
.@NHLFlyers winger Porter Martone had been BetOnline’s Rookie of the Year favorite before the season. The new odds:
Good stuff on Zegras opening his home to his young @NHLFlyers teammates.
Trevor Zegras is a bit of yacht rock in the heavy-metal world of hockey. "He's just a go-with-the-flow kind of guy, surfer vibe. Nothing really bothers him." 7 seasons into his NHL career, Zegras is spreading that vibe to his younger Flyers teammates. nhl.com/news/trevor-zegras-e…
It’s early. VERY early.
But if the @NHLFlyers make the playoffs, they would become the first #NHL team to do so after losing their first 9 games.
They have won 3 straight and, despite their disastrous start, are just three points out of a wildcard spot.
Cole Knuble is the 7th @NHLFlyers rookie to record his first multi-goal game in 2 or fewer contests, following Todd Bergen (1 GP in 1984-85), Dave Poulin (1 GP in 1982-83), Greg Adams (1 GP in 1980-81), Al Hill (1 GP in 1976-77), Vinny Prospal (2 GP in 1996-97), David Michayluk.
Cole Knuble, 22, drafted by the @NHLFlyers in the 4th round in 2023, scored his first two goals while playing in his 2nd career game, leading Philly past the host @BuffaloSabres, 3-1. Dman Oliver Bonk, 21, had 2 assists. The Flyers have won 3 straight after losing their first 9.
Sarah Hart, longtime South Jersey teacher and onetime rider of Steel Pier’s high-diving horses, has died at 90 inquirer.com/obituaries/sara…
.@NHLFlyers are at @BuffaloSabres tonight at 7:30 on TNT. Philly aiming for its third straight win. Dan Vladar gets the call for the Orange and Black.
Look who has as many goals (6) as Connor McDavid, the NHL’s best player.
The @NHLFlyers’ Matvei Michkov is on a 46-goal pace. And he’s only 21.

Flyers rookie Oliver Bonk played 13:31 against Nathan MacKinnon at 5-on-5 last night, and in those minutes, the Flyers out-scored the Avs 1-0 and out-chanced the Avs 7-6. No, really! thehockeynews.com/nhl/philad…
Matvei Michkov scored two goals and Trevor Zegras had three assists as the host @NHLFlyers stunned mighty Colorado, 3-2, and won their second straight. Joseph Woll made 24 saves for his first Flyers win. Philly overcame several injuries.
