Matvei Michkov played only 3:45 in the 3rd period of a tie game and no shifts in overtime.

Trevor Zegras takes a perfect pass from Travis Sanheim and slams home his 11th goal with the Flyers.
He had only 12 all of last season with the Ducks.

"What a setup! Sanheim with 𝑒𝑦𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑜𝑓 ℎ𝑖𝑠 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑 sets it up for Trevor Zegras!"

Matt Cord introduced "The 6-foot-9 forward from St. Vincent-St. Mary" as he took the court – possibly for the final time – in Philadelphia.

Sixers fans predictably gave LeBron James the expected welcome: "SUCKS!"

Should the Flyers feel good about staying tight with the best team in the NHL in a 3-2 loss to the Avalanche?

Tyson Foerster leads the Flyers with 10 goals, but he'll now miss 2-3 months.
Can they stay in the playoff hunt despite the injury?

Will the Flyers and Penguins get into a wild, aggressive game again in Philadelphia, reminiscent of the rivalry's height in 2012?

“I think you live for rivalry games. It gets your juices going. I think it’s important. I’m sure it’ll be a feisty game tonight." -Rick Tocchet

Does Nick Nurse really have a better option than leaning heavily on Tyrese Maxey — the NBA leader in minutes per game?

“He’s obviously vital to the team, especially right now, with — VJ, Kelly, PG, Joel, Bona, whoever else is out — out.” -Nick Nurse

How did the crowd help the Flyers gain momentum during their 4-goal explosion?

“I’ve lived it here. This crowd, when they get something to cheer about, it’s loud... We’ve got to continue to push the envelope... because they want to believe in our team. That starts on the ice with us.” -Rick Tocchet

“Our sports teams are part of our identity, our athletes reflections of who we are. For a time, Philly’s identity lived inside the crease. His name was Bernie… He wasn’t just our goaltender. He was our calm, our certainty… When Bernie was in net, everything was possible.”

Joel Embiid, Kelly Oubre Jr., Paul George, Adem Bona: OUT
Why can the Sixers withstand injuries better than they did last season?

“We’ve got a lot more youth. There’s some more athleticism and speed and stuff to just at least go out there and be able to keep up.” -Nick Nurse

How does Tyronn Lue feel about Allen Iverson and the iconic stepover 25 seasons later?

"To me it wasn't a big deal until Doug Collins went crazy on air... 3 years after that, we (Lue, Iverson) were probably still mad at each other, but after that, we became really good friends.”
