For all the talk of what the Flyers don’t have, namely a No. 1 center, it is easy to forget what the team does have coming down the pike. Thursday provided a good reminder, as the Flyers came in at No.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Patrick Kane scored a pivotal goal in the same building where he scored a Stanley Cup Final winner, Alex DeBrincat scored two goals and Lucas Raymond had one to lead the Detroit Red Wings past the Philadelphia Flyers 4-2 on Thursday night.
Martone had a game-high five shots on goal and played 16:54 in Philadelphia’s 6-4 loss to the Washington Capitals on Tuesday. Martone, who was the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, signed his entry-level contract with the Flyers on March 29.
The Flyers are still heavily leaning on Dan Vladar as their No. 1 netminder, and will likely look back to him for Friday night against the Islanders, but they do still need to give him a breather, while still being able to know they can get a save.
Ahead of schedule, Tyson Foerster will return Thursday when the Flyers host the Red Wings. He had been out for four months because of an injury to his arm.
WASHINGTON -- Porter Martone will jump directly into the Stanley Cup Playoff race with the Philadelphia Flyers when he makes his NHL debut against the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena on Tuesday (7 p.m. ET; MNMT, NBCSP).
Grand Rapids Griffins goalie Michal Postava made 18 saves in a 5-0 victory over the Rockford IceHogs on Wednesday in AHL action.
