#Derick Brassard

It's been a long 2022 for the Flyers and their fans. The team has suffered through a lot of losses, been stricken by injuries to key players, dealt with a coaching change, and said goodbye to one of the franchise's greatest-ever players in Claude Giroux. How bad has it been? The Flyers have accumulated a putrid 24-51-12 record and earned just 60 of…

A promising start is turning into a dominating season as the Boston Bruins continue to lead the NHL in points. Defenseman Hampus Lindholm and goalie Linus Ullmark are two major reasons for the success and they are both included in this week's " Who's Hot " list. The forwards listed are led by Washington's Alexander Ovechkin, who was recently moved…

On Wednesday night, the Philadelphia Flyers (8-11-4) will try to stop a nine-game losing streak (0-9-2) when they travel up I-95 to take on the New Jersey Devils (9-9-5) at Prudential Center. It is the second of three meetings between the two teams this season. The Devils defeated the Flyers 5-2 on Nov. 28. Let's get into our Flyers vs. Devils…

We have an early start today, as the New York Islanders (10-6-0) face the Ottawa Senators (5-8-1) at 5:30 PM at Canadian Tire Center. The start time is early because the Hockey Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is at 7:30 PM ET and with former Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson being inducted, the team wanted to give their fans an opportunity to…

There's no question that New York Islanders forward Derick Brassard cross-checked Jester Fast with 54 seconds remaining in regulation. The question is did Jesper Fast dive? (Yeah, he did.) Or was it the right time to make such a call by the officials? Either way, Brassard was given a penalty and the Rangers scored on the power play to take the full…

On Saturday night, the still undermanned Philadelphia Flyers (13-15-6) will try to halt a four-game losing streak when they host the San Jose Sharks (18-16-1) at Wells Fargo Center. It's the second and final meeting between the teams this season. The Sharks defeated the Flyers 3-2 in overtime in San Jose just 10 days ago. Let's get into our Flyers…

On Thursday night, the Philadelphia Flyers (13-15-7) will try to snap a five-game losing streak when they visit the Boston Bruins (20-11-2) at TD Garden. It's the third and final meeting between the teams this season. The Flyers defeated Boston 6-3 in October and the Bruins returned the favor in November, defeating Philadelphia 5-2. Let's get into…

Philly has lost 12 straight games, with an inability to score - especially on the road. The Islanders have been elite at preventing goals, especially at home, so our NHL betting picks tonight are banking on New York making it an unlucky 13 for the Flyers. The Philadelphia Flyers freefall continues as they extended their double-digit losing streak…

Welcome back for the second installment in this year's Ottawa Senators Sterling Predictions feature. In yesterday's kick-off piece, the staff did their best to guess at who will lead the team in scoring. Today, we look forward to one of the pivotal moments of any NHL campaign: the trade deadline. Spencer: Whether they should be or not, Dorion isn't…

The Flyers are in total freefall, struggling at even strength, on the man advantage, and while shorthanded. They looked bad in losing to the Islanders last night - and our NHL betting picks doesn't see much changing for tonight's rematch. After coming away with a 4-1 home win last night, the New York Islanders will jaunt down I-95 to play the…

During the offseason, General Manager Bill Armstrong decided that the Arizona Coyotes were not good enough and needed to be rebuilt. He then proceeded to blow up the team completely. Only nine players on the opening night roster were with the organization last season, and one of them, Victor Söderström, played for the AHL last season, not the…
