Rick Tocchet’s Philadelphia Flyers (6-10-6)return home on Sunday to rematch for the second time in a week against Mike Babcock’s powerhouse Edmonton Oilers (15-3-3). It is the final meeting of the two game season series between the interconference teams.
On Thursday in Edmonton, the Flyers put forth one of their best all-around 60 minute performances of the season. They outplayed the Oilers most of the night but had to rally back from a 2-0 deficit to force overtime. Finally, Edmonton prevailed in sudden death.
Zach Hyman notched two goals — one even strength and one power play — in regulation. The Flyers fought back for goals from Tyson Foerster and Travis Sanheim to send the game to overtime. In sudden death, a semi-broken play turned into a game-winning goal by Evan Bouchard.
Both the Flyers and Oilers were in road game action on Saturday night.
The Oilers nipped the Toronto Maple Leafs, 1-0. Meanwhile, the Flyers recovered from another 2-0 deficit and found a way to defeat the Columbus Blue Jackets, 4-3.
Offensively, the Flyers were led by a two-goal night — one at even strength and one on the power play — from young forward Denver Barkey (3rd and 4th goals of the season). Philly also received a tally apiece from Trevor Zegras (5th) and Matvei Michkov (team-high 11th). Michkov’s goal came on a breakaway.

Team Toyota Flyers Spotlight: Owen Tippett
Tippett (2g, 4 points in 16 games) has had a lot of frustration — injury issues, pucks not going in for him — dating back to the stretch drive of last season. On Saturday in Columbus, Tippett seemed to have a cathartic night.
He didn’t score a goal. However, he provided a spark to the Flyers with a heavy bodycheck and the first fight of his NHL career (which he won decisively). Tippett, who scored in the November 8 game in Calgary, is the Flyers’ streakiest offensive player. When he gets hot, Tippett scores in bunches.
The rematch with the Oilers presents a golden chance for Tippett to start one of his hot streaks. Step one: shoot the puck and get it on net. Tippett knocked on the door all game in Calgary (six shots on net) before he finally buried a scoring chance.
Over the three games since his most recent goal, Tippett has generated just one shot on net. He’s also seen less ice — 13:34 TOI average — over the last five tilts. If the first part falls in place, so will the second (more ice time) and final piece (scoring some goals again).
Behind Enemy Lines: Oilers deadly trio
Any time a team plays Edmonton, containing Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Evan Bouchard is job number one. The Flyers did that rather well in Edmonton on Thursday but the three players still loomed large in the ultimate overtime victory for the Oilers.
Specific to McDavid, the Flyers once again must deal with the NHL’s most lethal transition player and top playmaker. He’s opened the 2026-27 campaign with at least one point in all 21 games the Oilers have played.

60th Anniversary: Today in Flyers History
Before there was the fictitious Rocky Balboa character, there was Bobby Clarke leading an underdog hockey team to the sport’s ultimate prize in two straight seasons (and nearly a third). The fact that Clarke came from a humble working class background, overcame diabetes, was passed over in the first round of the NHL draft because of the disease and became the NHL’s Most Valuable Player despite having less natural ability than many of his peers made him all the more endearing to the sporting populace.
On November 15, 1984, the Flyers honored the recently retired franchise icon with Bobby Clarke Night at the Spectrum.
The Flyers trounced the visiting Hartford Whalers, 6-1.
