The Flyers return to the ice on Wednesday night for the second game of the preseason on the road against the New York Islanders.

A low-cost deal that could be flipped at the deadline? Take a flier on a low-risk, high-reward player looking for a chance? There are a few scenarios for the Flyers in free agency starting Saturday.

David Pastrnak scored a hat trick to reach the 60-goal mark, as the Bruins recorded their 63rd win of the season to set an NHL record in a 5-3 result over the Flyers on Sunday night at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers are very much in a process. Chuck Fletcher admitted as much one day after John Tortorella continued his season-long message of building. Just don’t expect people to be vocal in their trust in it.

For as much scrutiny as Chuck Fletcher faces, Ron Hextall's drafts have shown the Flyers inability to build a core that lasted well into the future. The minor trade involving Isaac Ratcliffe was further proof.

A goal by Wade Allison with 8:27 remaining put the Flyers ahead again for good, as the losing streak was snapped at four with a 4-3 win over the Flames on Monday afternoon.

From the front office to coaches to the players, there are plenty of areas of focus regarding the Flyers. Here are some takeaways.

After tying the game in the final two minutes, Mats Zuccarello was the hero for the Minnesota Wild, as the Flyers fell, 3-2, in overtime.

While the road to the playoffs is certainly more manageable for the Wild than the Flyers at this point, both teams are in the middle of the standings.

Kevin Fiala fired home the game-winning goal at 1:09 of overtime to hand the Flyers a 4-3 loss to the Kings on Tuesday night at Wells Fargo Center.
