In what ended up as a 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders, the major talking point was a heated exchange between the pair midway through the second period.
Ilya Sorokin made 23 saves for his third shutout of the season, Marc Gatcomb scored his first NHL goal and the New York Islanders won their sixth straight game with a 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night.
Philadelphia Flyers coach John Tortorella shared his thoughts about a heated exchange with rookie Matvei Michkov during the Flyers' game against the NY Islanders on Thursday.
There were plenty of developments Thursday night at the Wells Fargo Center as the Flyers lost to the Islanders, 3-0.
The Flyers made a late-night shakeup, reaching a deal with the Flames that sent longtime faces Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost to Calgary. In return, the Flyers are getting wingers Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier, a second-round draft pick this summer and a seventh-round draft pick in 2028.
The Calgary Flames traded Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier and draft picks to the Philadelphia Flyers for Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee.
In the end, this is not a perfect trade for the Flames, either. They get two players who could work out for them in the long run. In the same vein as how Kuzmenko and Pelletier could work for the Flyers. Until that happens, though, it's hard to give them the highest of grades.
The Philadelphia Flyers have traded Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost to the Calgary Flames in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, a 2025 second-round pick, and a 2028 seventh-round pick.
On the surface of the big trade between the Calgary Flames and Philadelphia Flyers, it appears the Flames got the much better of the deal. That might be true today, especially if we judge the deal based on what the Flames need as they push for a playoff spot.
The moving parts of the Flyers/Flames trade were settled overnight, leaving us with a deal that looks like this: TRADE ALERT: We’ve acquired forwards Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, a 2025 2nd round pick and a 2028 7th round pick from Calgary in exchange for forwards Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost.
