In the midst of what has easily been their worst stretch of games all season, the Philadelphia Flyers have gotten at least some positive news in the form of the latest injury update regarding goalie Dan Vladar.

Zibanejad became the Rangers’ all-time leader in power-play goals and his three-goal performance tied the team record for most career hat tricks in New York’s 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.

One of the reasons the Flyers have struggled so much recently is that their special teams haven’t been too special.

Senators GM Steve Staios recently scouted the Canucks, prompting speculation he could be seeking trade targets. Will Flyers look for backup goalie?

The answer for the kill: Be more active in puck pursuit. Try to be more disruptive at center ice rather than let teams set up and create good scoring chances off the rush. Big guys like Rasmus Ristolainen should be warriors in front of the net, clearing things out so goaltenders can see shots better.

Mika Zibanejad notched a hat trick to lift the visiting New York Rangers to a much-needed 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday afternoon. Artemi Panarin contributed two goals and an assist for New York and Brennan Othmann scored his first NHL goal.

Gard was traded to Seattle from Red Deer on Jan. 2. He's clicked with his new team, picking up three goals and two assists over five games with the Thunderbirds after posting just 10 points in 23 outings with the Rebels. The Flyers prospect appears to have just needed a change of scenery to unlock his offense.

The Flyers face the New York Rangers on Saturday before embarking on a three-game road trip through what some are calling the new Death Valley. Whether they will have reinforcements as the team heads west to face the Vegas Golden Knights,
