The Flyers are 25-20-10 entering Thursday and in sixth place of a tight Metropolitan Division. They're seven points back of the third-place Islanders and have played two fewer games. They didn't come into the season with a playoffs-or-bust mindset. In October, Tocchet talked about "maximizing the player" as an expectation.

The Flyers (14-2, 7-2 NBC) were able to do just that, holding off a late rally by the Knights (13-4, 5-4) to come away with the 54-43 victory. There were some tense moments at the end of the game as Otsego got within four points on two separate occasions in the fourth quarter before falling just short.

The Flyers seem to have very few answers for this troubling — perhaps defining — stretch of their 2025-26 season.

The Philadelphia Flyers have suspended play-by-play radio broadcaster Tim Saunders after he was caught making an inappropriate comment on a hot mic. The incident happened during Thursday's radio broadcast of the Flyers game against the Buffalo Sabres.

After Danny Briere addressed the noise around Rick Tocchet and Matvei Michkov, the Flyers beat the Capitals, 4-2, Tuesday night.

The Flyers coughed up a game they absolutely should have won Wednesday night as they suffered a brutal 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
