In Wednesday’s edition of Bailey’s Daily, we’ll be talking Philadelphia Flyers news, stories, highlights, and more from the past day.

That Matvei Michkov is at it again! The Philadelphia Flyers’ top prospect scored another goal on Wednesday and then showcased some of his best moves to a Rihanna song. And I don’t mean dance moves. [Matvei Michkov]
Cutter Gauthier and Team USA advanced to the semifinals of the 2024 World Junior Championships, where they’ll meet up with Finland on Thursday afternoon before the Flyers game. Here’s everything you need to know, including how to watch. [Cutter Gauthier]
The Flyers lost again on Tuesday night, which makes them 1-3-2 in their last six games. There was some good, some bad, and some ugly in the 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. [Flyers game]
Before their latest loss, we discussed whether the Flyers’ latest skid was real or fake and if factors outside of their control would prolong it. [Flyers news]

The once-struggling Carolina Hurricanes are suddenly surging, having gone 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. They’re up to ninth place in the NHL on the heels of some strong play by goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov.

The New Jersey Devils are battling the injury bug currently, and are already without Timo Meier. As a result, they went ahead and recalled Graeme Clarke from the AHL. [New Jersey Devils]
The Boston Bruins’ Matt Poitras, alongside the Flyers’ Oliver Bonk, returned home after Team Canada was eliminated from the World Juniors. It’s safe to say that the loss to Czechia left a bad taste in their mouths. [Boston Bruins]
Did the Colorado Avalanche fix Jonathan Drouin? He’s caught fire lately and at an important time for his team. [Colorado Avalanche]
Don’t blink, but Sasha Barkov just set another franchise record for the Florida Panthers. Teammate Matthew Tkachuk isn’t surprised anymore. [Florida Panthers]
Despite the Chicago Blackhawks’ struggles on the ice and with their overall health with injuries, Connor Bedard has been a constant. He just wrapped up his second Rookie of the Month award in a row. [Chicago Blackhawks]
