Luke and Brayden Schenn will be the 8th set of brothers to each play 1,000 games tonight. But when Brayden hits the milestone tonight, after Luke did it in October, they'll carve themselves a unique place in NHL history.

Blues captain Brayden Schenn will play in his 1,000th NHL game tonight in Washington. He follows older brother Luke, who reached 1,000 games earlier this season the Predators. Great story about the Schenns here from @nhladamk.bsky.social www.nhl.com/news/schenn-...

A special piece of NHL history will be made by the Schenn family tonight when Brayden Schenn plays his 1,000th game, 4 months after his brother Luke played his. "It's surreal. ... To think that this could happen, to see your kids to get their dreams, that's been amazing."

"He's just an outstanding individual and young man, just does everything the right way." Flames prospect Jacob Battaglia developing into star on the ice, role model and mental health advocate off it.

That’s 880 goals in 1,467 games for Ovechkin. Gretzky scored 894 in 1,487 games. So not only can he break the record, he can do it in fewer games than Gretzky. Amazing on top of amazing.

2025 NHL Draft to be held at Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on June 27-28

Flyers line of Owen Tippett (2 goals), Sean Couturier (goal, 2 assists) and Matvei Michkov (goal, two assists) combine for 8 points in 6-3 win against Oilers

2 goals for Owen Tippett, 3 points each for Sean Couturier and Matvei Michkov as Flyers come out of 4 Nations break with 6-3 win against Oilers.

Flyers PK holds the Oilers without a shot on their first power play of the game, with McDavid and Draisaitl playing almost the full 2 minutes, if not all of it. Flyers have done well limiting the Oilers' chances; Edmonton with 17 SOG with 4:04 left in the game.

Entering today: Oilers plus-33 goal differential in 2nd period Flyers minus-22 goal differential in 2nd period Today: Flyers outscore Oilers 4-1 in 2nd, lead 5-3 after 2

Michkov's second career three-point game, including Dec. 5 vs. Florida -- which was also Tippett's only other two-goal game this season, too.

Leon Draisaitl with the assist on Mattias Ekholm's goal gives him 6-5-11 in a 7-game point streak, and 4 straight multipoint games

Sean Couturier puts Flyers ahead 3-2. It's his 200th NHL goal

Oilers lead the Flyers 2-1 after 1st period. Edmonton goals for John Klingberg - his first since April 3, 2023 - and Leon Draisaitl. Matvei Michkov scored for Philadelphia.

Leon Draisaitl gives Oilers 2-1 lead with his NHL-best 41st goal of the season. Draisaitl now 6-4-10 in a 7-game point streak. Matt Savoie gets the primary assist, his first NHL point. Did a great job getting under Ristolainen to pull the puck off the wall

After Matvei Michkov gives Flyers a 1-0 lead, John Klingberg ties it for the Oilers with his first goal since April 3, 2023

#ScoutsInTheHouse for Oilers-Flyers in Philadelphia today: Red Wings (2), Ducks, Flames, Lightning, Golden Knights

Also Connor McDavid has 9-18-27 in an 11-game point streak against the Flyers

To no surprise, Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch confirms Connor McDavid will play today vs. Flyers. "Sometimes you worry about the player not having a break, all these other players had a break. But with Connor, I don't think I could force him, I don't think I could keep him away from the rink."

Flyers confirm forwards Owen Tippett, Jakob Pelletier and Ryan Poehling, as well as defensemen Egor Zamula and Rasmus Ristolainen will play today vs. Oilers. Sam Ersson starts in goal.

I was wondering how Travis Konecny, in dress shoes, was going to get down the ice and get his medal. Riding Brad Marchand was not on the bingo card.

“I'm just happy I can play again, and I just enjoy it. I need to get used to it again because after that long time, it's hard to play. It feels better game by game for sure.” Blues prospect Adam Jiricek hoping to build on WJC medal, plus more in this week's CHL Notebook

Not all Eagles can soar, I guess.

"To give that to players with that talent at that age and doing it together, competing against each other, it's become like a factory." NTDP alums to drive US success at 4 Nations. Great stuff from @amaliebenjamin.bsky.social here. www.nhl.com/news/usa-nat...

Passing on this scam text my 16 year old (who doesn't drive) got about unpaid EZ pass tolls. If you get something like this, just know it's BS. Here's an explainer from one of my long-ago employers

Sorry, got my Travii confused. It's Travis Sanheim blogging for us.

Scoring change just announced to Penguins second goal tonight. It’s now being credited to Anthony Beauvillier after initially being given to Kevin Hayes.

Postgame roster maneuvering for the 4 Nations break: Flyers have sent Rodrigo Abols, Jacob Gaucher and Emil Andrae to AHL Lehigh Valley Penguins have sent Emil Bemstrom, Vasily Ponomarev and Joel Blomqvist to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and recalled Tristan Jarry.

Goal and an assist for Travis Konecny and then Sam Ersson holds the fort in the final seconds as Flyers hang on for 3-2 win against Penguins.

NHL ruling on Penguins goal that was awarded after coach's challenge

After initial call of no goal, Penguins challenge play and call on the ice is overruled. Kevin Hayes has a goal to get Pittsburgh within 3-2

Through 2 periods Flyers have blocked 24 shots. 11 players have at least one, topped by 4 for Jamie Drysdale

After 2 periods, Flyers lead Penguins 2-1 on Garnet Hathaway's "goal." Penguins outshooting Flyers 21-9 but just have Erik Karlsson's goal to show for it

Flyers have 2 shots on goal in the 2nd period halfway through. At least they're on a better pace than the 1st period

Changed to 5 shot attempts for Flyers - 2 on goal, 1 blocked, 2 that missed the net.

Penguins 10 shots on goal and another 18 shots blocked, plus 8 shots that missed the net - 36 shot attempts. Flyers had 4 shot attempts, 2 on goal. And yet, Flyers lead it 1-0

Flyers lead Penguins 1-0 after 1 period. Flyers get just 2 shots on goal, including 14:36 without any. Penguins have 10 shots. 2nd time this season Flyers had 2 SOG in a period. They also had 2 in the third against the Kings on Dec. 19

5:55 left in 1st period, Flyers still have 1 shot on goal - Scott Laughton's goal. That's 12:21 without a shot for Philadelphia.
