On New Year's Eve, the Philadelphia Flyers suffered a 5-1 loss to the Calgary Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

Speaking of the Flyers, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported last Saturday that they're in contract talks with Christian Dvorak. The 29-year-old center joined them last summer on a one-year, $5.4 million deal. Because he's on that one-year contract, the earliest he can sign an extension is Jan. 1.

Haley Taylor Simon, Flyers Beat Reporter for Sports Network and Metro Philly, joined us to talk about the reasons for this season’s success, and to look ahead to the rest of the year.

With 37 of 82 games under their belts, it's time to check in on how individual Flyers have performed so far this season.

This was not the blockbuster trade for a center everyone was hoping for, but the Philadelphia Flyers again managed to get the best of their trade partners, this time fleecing the rival Pittsburgh Penguins.

Travis Konecny scored and Samuel Ersson made 20 saves for the Flyers (20-12-7), who were playing the second half of a back to back after a 6-3 win at the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. It was just the third regulation loss in the past 12 games (5-3-4) for Philadelphia.

The 29-year-old has given the Flyers some much-needed strength down the middle and is on pace for the best offensive season of his career.
