Philadelphia Flyers 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
The Philadelphia Flyers were in the thick of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs race as the season began its second half. Philadelphia is not a polished team of quality. Instead, it is a team that has to scratch and claw for anything that it gets. The big problem that could prove fatal for Philadelphia is goaltending. The Flyers’ defense does a good job of limiting shots but the goalies are inconsistent at stopping the pucks that do get through. Philadelphia head coach John Tortorella and his team had a near playoff miss last year and are looking to close the sale in 2025.

Philadelphia Flyers Key Players
C Travis Konecny is a top producer for the Flyers. The Flyers selected Konecny with the 24th overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft. Konecny broke into the NHL with the Flyers in 2016-17. Last year, he scored 33 goals. So far this season, Konecny leads the Flyers with 21 goals, 33 assists, 54 points, and a +2.
RW Owen Tippett is another goal-scoring threat. The Florida Panthers selected him 10th overall in the 2017 NHL Draft. Tippett has been with the Flyers since 2021-22. Last year, he had 28 goals and 25 assists. So far this season, Tippett has 13 goals, 16 assists and 29 points.
D Travis Sanheim has six goals, 18 assists, 24 points, and a +4. He has been with the Flyers since 2018-19.
Philadelphia Flyers Goaltenders
Carter Hart was the Flyers' number one goaltender. However, due to ongoing legal issues, he was let go as a restricted free agent. At one time, Hart was the team's central hope, but now that is over. His departure in 2024 likely cost the Flyers a playoff spot.
Top goalie Samuel Ersson is now the starter. Last year, he posted a 23-19-7 record with a 2.82 goals against average, a .890 save percentage, and four shutouts. This year, Ersson has a 2.70 goals against average and a save percentage of .892. His record is 14-7-2 with two shutouts.
Philadelphia Flyers Head Coach
Head coach John Tortorella is a favorite with NHL fans and media despite his tendency to spar with it. The volatile Tortorella is one of the most compelling personalities in the game. At the start of the season, his career record was 742-612-37-156, with a 2004 Stanley Cup championship as HC of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He is a two-time Jack Adams Award winner as NHL coach of the year.

Philadelphia Flyers History
The Flyers were founded in 1967 when the NHL launched “The Great Expansion,” which doubled the league's size from six to 12 teams. Philadelphia quickly became a contender and won consecutive Stanley Cup championships in 1974 and 1975. Known then as the “Broad Street Bullies,” the Flyers were both ruffians and highly skilled. Bobby Clarke was their inspirational captain, with Bernie Parent dominating in goal.
The Flyers were the most successful of the “Second Six” 1967 expansion franchises and were a national sensation. Getting a ticket to their games at the old Spectrum in Philadelphia was impossible. From 1973 to 1989, the Flyers made the Stanley Cup Playoffs every season. They made six Stanley Cup Final appearances in that span, winning twice.
Philadelphia had a second wave of near greatness from 1995 through 2012. During those years, they missed the playoffs only once. Philadelphia made the Stanley Cup Final twice, losing both times. Eric Lindros was the marquee man of the first portion of that era.
Retired Flyers numbers belong to goalie Bernie Parent #1, defenseman Mark Howe #2, defenseman Barry Ashbee #4, left wing Bill Barber #7, center Bobby Clarke #16, and center Eric Lindros #88.
