Martone, Zegras of Flyers Have Top-Selling Jerseys of Stanley Cup Playoffs Porter Martone and Trevor Zegras of the Philadelphia Flyers have become the top-selling players on NHLShop.com for the first week of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Their jerseys outsold all others, reflecting their growing popularity among fans. Martone, a 19-year-old forward, has been instrumental in the Flyers’ 3-0 series lead against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Eastern Conference First Round. Zegras, a 25-year-old forward, has contributed significantly in his first season with the team after being acquired in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks on June 23, 2025. Martone joined the Flyers in March 2025 after signing a three-year, entry-level contract. He led Michigan State with 25 goals and 50 points in 35 games as a freshman. With the Flyers, he recorded 10 points (four goals, six assists) in nine regular-season games and three points (two goals, one assist) through the first three games of the playoffs. Teammate Christian Dvorak praised Martone’s hockey IQ, stating, “He seems always to be in the right areas. And it takes a smart hockey player to have that. He’s been huge for us. The puck finds him. Making a lot of the right plays.” Sales of Martone’s No. 94 jersey increased by 1,714 percent since the playoffs began. Fans have worn his jersey in large numbers, particularly at Game 4 of the best-of-7 series, set for Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The game will air at 8 p.m. ET on multiple networks, including HBO MAX, SN-PIT, truTV, TBS, NBCSP, SN, and TVAS. Zegras, who had a career-high 67 points (26 goals, 41 assists) in 81 regular-season games for the Flyers, added three points (one goal, two assists) through three playoff games.#philadelphia_flyers #xfinity_mobile_arena #porter_martone #trevor_zegras #nhlshop_com

Porter Martone's Instant Success with the Flyers PHILADELPHIA -- The concourse of the Philadelphia Flyers' home arena is a vibrant tapestry of orange, each fan’s jersey marking a different era in the franchise’s history, from their last Stanley Cup in 1975 to the present. Names like Clarke, Hextall, Lindros, Giroux, and Couturier adorn the backs of jerseys, but Flyers fan Brett Yetter chose a different path when he purchased his jersey for Game 4 of the team’s playoff series against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He wore the name and number of Porter Martone, a 19-year-old who had spent only nine regular-season games and four playoff games with the Flyers. Like Yetter, Martone is 19, but unlike many NHL rookies, he leaped from the NCAA into a Stanley Cup playoff race and became an instant sensation in Philadelphia. Martone’s jersey has become the NHL’s highest-selling since the playoffs began two weeks ago, with sales surging 1,174% after he scored in each of his first two playoff games. The Flyers, seeking their first postseason series win since 2020, have found a spark in the young forward. “I had to get one. I’ve had no hope in this city in, what, 10 years? [Matvei] Michkov, I got instantly. Martone, I got instantly,” Yetter said. “Just give me hope. I’ll give you money.” Martone, selected No. 6 by the Flyers in June, fits the organizational mold: a power forward with playmaker’s hands and an antagonistic streak befitting a Flyer. Scouts, analysts, and coaches have compared his game to that of former NHL MVP Corey Perry, citing his offensive skills and penchant for malice. Craig Button, director of scouting for TSN and a former NHL general manager, praised Martone’s compete level. “What I like about his game is his game. He’s in it to win it. Players like him are unique. He plays on his toes.#corey_perry #philadelphia_flyers #travis_konecny #porter_martone #brett_yetter

Bryce Harper is keeping close tabs on Flyers’ playoff push: ‘Just awesome to see’ SAN FRANCISCO — Bryce Harper, a Golden Knights fan, tuned in to watch the Flyers’ overtime victory over the Boston Bruins on Sunday, even as the Phillies traveled from Colorado to California. The game, which secured the Flyers’ first playoff berth since January 12, was a moment Harper couldn’t miss. He followed the action closely, flipping to the broadcast just in time to see rookie Porter Martone score his first NHL goal on the power play, sending the Flyers into playoff position. Harper praised the game’s intensity, calling it “just awesome to see.” He highlighted the dramatic nature of the overtime scenario, where the Flyers faced a five-on-three advantage, emphasizing the pressure and excitement that comes with such moments. “You’re five-on-three, you better score,” he said, reflecting on the game’s unpredictability. Martone, a 19-year-old winger who joined the Flyers after his college team, Michigan State, was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament, made his NHL debut on March 31. His goal came just days after Phillies pitcher Andrew Painter made his MLB debut, marking a rare alignment of new talent in both leagues. Harper took to TikTok to celebrate Martone’s achievement, acknowledging the rookie’s impact on the Flyers’ season. Harper, a Las Vegas native, has been a Golden Knights fan since the team’s founding in 2017. He described the Stanley Cup playoffs as a transformative experience for a city, and he hopes the Flyers can replicate that energy in Philadelphia. “It’s exciting to see what that looks like in Philly,” he said. “The Flyers have had huge success early in the franchise, but it’s been a little tough in recent years. I’m excited to see what playoff hockey is all about.#michigan_state #philadelphia #bryce_harper #flyers #porter_martone
