*The Flyers finally got back to action yesterday against the Avalanche, and even though they were able to stick with them for much of the game, the finish eluded them in the end. [BSH]
*The Flyers had a pair of players in Sean Couturier and Nick Seeler hit pretty significant career milestones in that game as well. [Inquirer]
*Speaking of Couturier, Rick Tocchet has been leaning pretty heavily on him, but hopefully the day comes before long when he won’t have to ask quite as much of him. [BSH]
*Also a bit of news: ahead of yesterday’s game, the Flyers recalled defenseman Ty Murchison from the Phantoms. It seemed like a just in case kind of move, as he didn’t dress for the game, but it’s still a nice bit of recognition for the under the radar good work he’s been doing down in the AHL so far this season. [THN]
*He didn’t get on the board yesterday, but Matvei Michkov’s play has been trending up really nicely of late. Charlie has more on his resurgence herein. [PHLY]
*A little bit more news… or something like that: while Owen Tippett’s name is floating around in trade rumblings, the word is that the Flyers are trying to pour cold water on the idea that they’re actively shopping him. Do with that what you will. [BSH]
*Dan Vladar’s been excellent to start this season, and that high level of play began all the way back with his offseason preparation. [The Athletic]
*World Junior season is right around the corner, and there’s a good group of prospects who we might expect to see representing the Flyers in the tournament. [BSH]
*And in the realm of news around the rest of the hockey world: an outdoor game is coming is coming to Winnipeg. [TSN]
*Also, the saga as it relates to the whole Olympic ice situation continues to unfold. [The Athletic]
*And finally, let’s all remember that the Flyers are fun right now and we are allowed to simply enjoy this. [Inquirer]
