*What a weekend it’s been! When we last spoke, the Flyers were coming off a big win over the Blues, wherein they put together a much improved start to the game, all things considered. [BSH]
*Friday also brought us the news that the Flyers might just be looking to upgrade their center situation. [BSH]
*Friday, even more importantly, saw the Flyers paying tribute to the late great Bernie Parent. [Inquirer]
*That tribute would continue into Saturday’s game, which was in other ways a historic one for the Flyers. [BSH]
*And, of course, we have our own big takeaways from a big win like that one. [BSH]
*While our pal Charlie has his own over at his site. [PHLY]
*That game saw the Flyers tinkering with their defensive pairs heading into it, and a good long look at a combination of Emil Andrae and Jamie Drysdale set up. [BSH]
*And this pair, all in all, had themselves quite positive showing against the Devils. [BSH]
*The Flyers’ offense really did pop off in that one, and it’s hard not to wonder if this will be a sign of good things to come. [The Athletic]
*It was a good and tidy win for them, and one which they were able to pull off in regulation, which is huge in and of itself. [BSH]
*Overall, the vibes are high as the Flyers have kicked of a two-game winning streak. [Inquirer]
*Saturday also marked, if you can believe it, 100 NHL games played for Matvei Michkov. And how has he fared over this time as compared to both his peers and other league greats? Let’s dig into it. [BSH]
*There’s a lot to be excited about in his future, just as there’s a lot to be excited about in Porter Martone’s future, who’s still popping off at the college level. [BSH]
*Speaking of developing prospects, the Flyers are going to have to figure something out soon with how they want to be using Nikita Grebenkin. [NBCSP]
*And finally, before we fully turn the page and head into this new week, we take a moment to look back on some of the top performances from last week. [BSH]
