Porter Martone added to his impressive early NHL résumé last night (April 9, 2026) in the Flyers’ 6-3 loss to the Detroit Red Wings.The 19-year-old rookie recorded a multi-point game with one goal (his second NHL goal, on the Power Play) and one assist. That gives him two goals and four assists (Six points) through his first six NHL games — a strong start after signing his entry-level contract and jumping straight from Michigan State.
Recent Highlights for Martone
- He scored his first NHL goal on April 5 vs. the Boston Bruins — an overtime winner on the power play (5-on-3). That made him the first player in Flyers history to score his debut NHL goal in overtime. nytimes.com
- He’s already had multiple multi-point games in his first six contests, joining a short list of notable Flyers rookies (like Mike Richards, Eric Lindros, Tyson Foerster, and James van Riemsdyk) who’ve done so in a similar early window.
Despite the loss in Detroit, the Flyers remain in a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with three games left, and they control their own destiny. Martone sounded focused afterward, saying the team needs to “Flush it down the toilet” and play their best three games of the year.
Martone’s been a bright spot in Philly’s late-season push — big, skilled, and already contributing in key moments. The kid looks like a future stud.
