Lifeless Flyers Shut Out By Penguins on Opening Night

PHILADELPHIA – It was not the ideal start to the new season for the Philadelphia Flyers (0-1-0), who were blanked by the Pittsburgh Penguins (1-0-0) 7-0 to start the 2026-27 season at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

The Flyers struggled mightily out of the gate, an the Penguins took advantage. It was a sluggish, sloppy opening night effort that resulted in the Flyers being embarrased on their home ice against their bitter rival.
