Welcome to the 11/10 edition of the PhHN Daily!
Starting with the Flyers, they’re back in the win column after Monday’s matchup in Vancouver. It was not always pretty and was almost disastrous, but they avoided the collapse and came away with the win.
It did come with a cost, however. The Flyers showed some fire on the bench, so we talk about it.
Around the league, we talk about one Flyers’ heel making the NHL Hall of Fame. We also talk about one goalie’s positive message to another, a rookie’s rise, and more!
Get it all on the 11/10 edition of the PhHN Daily!

Philadelphia Flyers
Philly Hockey Now: Back in the win column! The Flyers snapped their losing skid on Monday with their 3-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks. It was not always pretty, but the Flyers got the job done.
There was a lot to like from Monday. Tocchet’s roll of the dice with the lineup decisions. A couple of key players played some of their best hockey of the season. But still, the Flyers were making the same mistakes they have been, and the game became way too close for comfort. We break it down in our Flyers postgame blog.
Of course, it did not come without any extra fireworks. Nick Seeler and Matvei Michkov were caught on camera in a heated exchange. It can be perceived as a bad thing. In fact, that seems to be the general consensus on social media. However, I disagree with the consensus there. I think the fire is good for the Flyers.
