After a truly brutal showing against a struggling Rangers team on home ice on Saturday afternoon, and seeing their losing streak stretch on to six games, the Flyers are still looking around for answers and hoping that a trip out West will see their luck change. They have quite a steep hill to climb here — not only have they dug themselves quite a deep hole with their own play, but their first stop is Vegas to face off against the Golden Knights, who sit at the top of the standings in the Pacific. There’s a bit of a mismatch in the strength of their lineups, to say the least, but the hope is that the Flyers can at least manage some incremental improvement, and get things slowly moving in the right direction again. Puck drop: 8:00 p.m.How to watch/listen:📺: NBCSP+📻: 93.3 WMMR Pregame reading The Flyers’ center depth has taken a hit, and that’s thrown a bit of a wrench in the works of the plan to do a bit of managing of Sean Couturier’s workload. [BSH] Speaking of which, it seems a little weird, and a bit of a missed opportunity, that the Flyers haven’t used this moment to take a real run at the Trevor Zegras at center experiment.

There’s a small positive to be found in that they were able to build up a bit more offense later in the game, found their legs eventually, but it remains that the damage was well and truly done by then, and waking up only when it turns to garbage time is not the most remarkable of feats. The Flyers’ sluggish, disorganized start was as much a killer in that one as was the less than optimal performance from Aleksei Kolosov, and the reality of their situation right now is that they simply cannot afford to keep not fully starting these games on time. They had the benefit of getting the first goal, which wasn’t nothing, but their inability to sustain that bit of momentum was troubling. This matchup will make things more challenging on them, but starting this game well and keeping up a more consistent level of energy and attention to detail will need to be a particular point of emphasis as they approach tonight’s game (and this challenging trip, broadly). Brink returns The Flyers’ troubles at the moment are numerous, but their depleted offense has certainly presented as one of the more significant ones, as they’re looking to really get their scoring game firing again. And while it’s going to take more than just one piece added into the mix to fix things around here, the group getting healthier is moving them in the right direction. The Flyers look like they’ll be getting a bit of a boost this evening, as Bobby Brink has been removed from IR and, after taking practice…

EL PASO, Texas | An immigrant from Nicaragua was found dead at a Texas immigration detention facility last week, federal officials said. Victor Manuel Diaz appears to have killed himself Wednesday at the sprawling tent complex at the U.S. Army’s Fort Bill base in El Paso, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement. The federal investigation into his death continues. It’s the same facility where ICE said another detainee died earlier this month as staff members tried to keep him from killing himself. But a fellow detainee said at least five officers were restraining the handcuffed inmate and at least one had an arm around his neck. EDITOR’S NOTE — This story includes discussion of suicide. If you or someone you know needs help, the national suicide and crisis lifeline in the U.S. is available by calling or texting 988. Diaz was swept up on Jan. 6 in the federal crackdown on immigration in Minnesota and sent to Texas, ICE said. Diaz entered the United States in March 2024 and Border Patrol officers took him into custody, He was released on parole pending a court date and a judge ordered him to leave the U.S. in an August hearing that Diaz did not attend, ICE said. Diaz was given a final order for removal on Jan. 12, two days before he was found unconscious in his room, authorities said. ICE did not release any other details on Diaz’s death. The agency notifies Congress and releases a statement on its website of all in-custody deaths. Diaz, 36, was being held at Camp Montana East where ICE said another detainee, Geraldo Lunas Campos, died as staff members tried to prevent him from killing himself. But a preliminary investigation by the El Paso County Medical Examiner’s Office found Lunas Campos, 55, died from asphyxia from chest and neck compression and said the death would likely be classified a homicide. A fellow detainee told the AP that Lunas Campos was handcuffed and refused to go back into his cell when at least five guards pinned him to the floor. The detainee said at least one of the guards squeezed an arm around Lunas Campos’ neck. ICE said it is still investigating that death.

When the Philadelphia Flyers acquired Trevor Zegras from the Anaheim Ducks in June of 2025, they weren’t sure what version of Zegras would arrive. After tumultuous contract negotiations with Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek, the cover co-star of EA Sports’ NHL 2023 was badly in need of a change of scenery. In his first season in Flyers orange, Zegras has found his game, scoring at a near point-per-game pace, and rekindled his love for hockey. Soon, he’ll need a new deal with the orange and black as he heads into restricted free agency this summer. His current contract status At the time of the trade, Zegras was entering the final year of his deal signed in Anaheim for 3 years and $5.75 million per year. He is considered a restricted free agent this season and every year until 2028, so general manager Danny Briere and the Flyers can negotiate at their leisure. The player is ineligible to sign elsewhere, or speak to other teams, unless he is still not extended by July 1, 2026. This is information the Flyers — and Zegras, conversely — can leverage for a better deal on their end. Restricted free agents typically sign for fewer dollars than they would be worth on the open market, considering they aren’t eligible for other teams to bid. However, the years of 2028 and beyond would cost the Flyers much more — his “unrestricted” years. A deal that expires in 2028 would be exceptionally cheaper, but would lean heavily in Zegras’s favor, as he would get the earliest look possible at true market value and reach unrestricted free agency at a very young age. With unrestricted free agency slowly coming up on the horizon, Zegras should get a substantial raise and security that he hasn’t had to this point in his career. He’s made one thing clear: he wants to play in Philadelphia. Pat Brisson, Zegras’s agent, is familiar with the club, with Cam York, Nick Seeler, and three Lehigh Valley Phantoms currently under his umbrella. Brisson also represented Claude Giroux when Philadelphia gave him an eight-year, $66.2 million deal, about 12 percent of the salary cap, after his age 25 season was over the point per game rate. What is Zegras really worth? The Flyers took a chance on high-end skill and left the rest of the equation to coach Rick Tocchet. Once a dynamic center, Zegras has found the bulk of his ice time on the wing with Christian Dvorak. From a salary perspective, centers are simply worth more money for the extra responsibilities they carry. Tocchet is more comfortable playing Zegras on the wing, at least for now, which would likely give the Flyers a bit of a discount. You might be thinking, “the highest paid player in the NHL is a winger”, but Kirill Kaprizov has a much different set of circumstances than Trevor Zegras — he nearly doubled Zegras’s scoring in 16 fewer games played last season. The Flyers could use a superstar of any ilk, but they won’t need to be paying anyone $17 million per year yet. By raw production, a better player comparable we could use would be Winnipeg Jets winger Gabriel Vilardi. At age 25, Vilardi played 71 games and compiled 27 goals and 61 points. Prorated to 82 games, it’s a similar scoring pace to what Zegras is currently on, though a bit lower. Winnipeg gave Vilardi a 6 year, $45-million deal this past summer ($7.5 million AAV), or about eight percent of the salary cap, which included buying four years of unrestricted free agency. The wrench in this particular comparable comes when you see that Zegras had cleared 60 points twice before Vilardi ever sniffed 40. There’s a bigger sample size of success with the Flyers’ hybrid center, and perhaps more to be unlocked. Funnily enough, both players are sitting at exactly 47 games, 44 points, and 19 goals this season, but I would expect Zegras to clear Vilardi’s AAV fairly easily. The salary cap has been approved for a big rise. A…
