In Saturday’s edition of Bailey’s Daily, we’ll be talking the latest Philadelphia Flyers news, NHL news, stories, highlights, and more from the last day.

Flyers News

• Remember him? Jordan Weal, a Philadelphia Flyers name of the distant past, just made history books over in the KHL’s department for both the 2023-24 season and all-time.
• Carchidi Column: The Flyers have taken a major step forward – as a team – in their 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night. Why? It’s what they didn’t do that matters most.
  • They’ll have a much greater test, though, this weekend when they face the New York Rangers on Saturday and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday.
• On Thursday, reports surfaced that the Flyers were working on a Nick Seeler contract extension ahead of the 2024 NHL trade deadline.
• For PhHN+ subscribers: Why is the Flyers’ third line having so much success? Garnet Hathaway and Noah Cates shared their thoughts on their unit’s performance in the last few games.
• You might have missed it if you weren’t paying attention: John Tortorella compared Travis Konecny to Artemi Panarin after the game against the Blackhawks, but not in a way you might expect.
