Top Noah Cates News

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Scores again Monday

    Cates scored a goal in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Penguins.

    Cates' goal streak is up to four games, and he has seven points over his last seven outings. This is arguably the best stretch of his career. He's up to six tallies, 12 points, 31 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-7 rating through 31 appearances. Cates was moved up to the second line Monday, but until he starts seeing regular power-play time, it's tough to trust that his offense will last.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Keeps rolling with two-point effort

    Cates scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

    Cates tied the game at 2-2 at 8:48 of the third period. The teams exchanged a few more goals after that, and Cates was on the ice to feed Owen Tippett for the game-winner 3:30 into overtime. With four goals and two assists over his last six contests, Cates is in the midst of one of the best stretches of his career. The 25-year-old is up to five tallies, six helpers, 30 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 30 appearances this season. While his recent play is encouraging, his history doesn't indicate an ability to sustain this level of production, especially when he remains in a third-line role.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Goals in back-to-back games

    Cates scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Flyers.

    Cates has scored in back-to-back contests and has three goals and an assist over his last five games. The 25-year-old was one of two Flyers to finish with a positive plus-minus rating (plus-1) in Thursday's blowout loss. Cates has four goals, five assists, 29 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-6 rating through 29 appearances in a third-line role this season.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Scores in loss

    Cates scored a goal in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Red Wings.

    Cates has three points over his last four games, including two goals in that span. He won't wow anyone with a third-line role and no power-play time, but he's done enough to routinely stay in the lineup for the better part of two months after being scratched for four of the first five contests of the season. Cates is up to eight points, 27 shots on net, 31 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 28 appearances. His spot in the lineup is safe since the Flyers aren't carrying an extra forward.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Tallies opening goal

    Cates scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Cates' goal was his first since Nov. 23, and he had just one assist over seven contests between tallies. The 25-year-old typically doesn't score a lot while playing in a third-line role, though he has been able to maintain that spot since Oct. 22. He's up to six points, 22 shots on net, 30 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 25 appearances. He does a little bit of everything, but Cates' offense is too limited to help most fantasy managers.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Chips in with helper

    Cates notched an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.

    Cates has four points over his last nine outings, which is fine production for a bottom-six forward on a low-scoring team. Overall, he has five points, 17 shots on net, 27 hits, 14 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 21 appearances. Cates has mostly seen third-line usage lately, and he's been sharp enough defensively to stick in the lineup despite his poor scoring numbers for the year.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Nets equalizer Saturday

    Cates scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

    Cates picked up his third point in the last five games when he tied the game at 2-2 midway through the third period. The 25-year-old center had just 11:36 of ice time, but he's been playing a solid game lately, which has kept him on the second line at even strength. Cates is up to one goal, four points, 14 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-9 rating over 17 appearances this season, but he hasn't been scratched since Oct. 19.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Deals helper Wednesday

    Cates logged an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

    Cates has played alongside Matvei Michkov for several games, though line combinations change frequently in Philadelphia. This was Cates' second helper over the last four contests. The 25-year-old forward is up to three assists, 11 shots on net, 23 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 16 appearances. He's gone 11 games without taking a minus rating, which indicates that he's at least been defensively stable at even strength.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Chips in with assist

    Cates logged an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Senators.

    Cates snapped an eight-game point drought with his helper on a Travis Konecny goal in the second period. The good news is Cates stayed in the lineup during his scoring slump -- he had been scratched for four of the first five games of the season. The 25-year-old has earned just two assists with 10 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-3 rating over 13 appearances in 2024-25.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Sets up empty-netter

    Cates produced an assist and two hits in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Wild.

    Cates found Sean Couturier for an empty-net goal to close out the high-scoring contest. Cates has made four appearances this season while being a healthy scratch for the other four games. He's played in three straight, indicating he may be gaining favor with head coach John Tortorella. Cates has added nine hits and one shot on goal in a bottom-six role. The 25-year-old put up 18 points in 59 regular-season contests last campaign, though he had 38 points in 82 games the year before.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Scores first goal since February

    Cates scored an unassisted goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

    That goal snaps a 14-game goal drought for Cates, who has just four goals and 14 points through 53 games this season. He has seen limited ice time recently, averaging 13:12 of ice time per game in March. He also hadn't registered more than a single shot in any of the nine games before Monday. Add in his career-low 6.3 shooting percentage, and there simply isn't much upside in Cates' game right now.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Unvailable Thursday

    Cates (personal) won't play Thursday versus the Canadiens.

    Cates has been in a bottom-six role recently and hasn't recorded a point in his last nine games, so his absence won't make waves in fantasy. Cam Atkinson will draw into the lineup Thursday due to Cates' absence. The Flyers return home to face the Blackhawks on Saturday.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Puts up two points

    Cates scored an empty-net goal and supplied an assist in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.

    With the Lightning desperately trying to form a comeback, Cates scored the first of two empty-net goals to put the game away. He also added two hits, two shots and a plus-3 rating in 16:40 of time on ice. This was only Cates' second multi-point game of the year and his 12th point on the season. He needs to demonstrate consistent offensive production to become a reliable fantasy scorer.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Scores winning goal

    Cates scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal in Tuesday's win against Florida.

    It was just the second goal of the season for Cates and first since Oct. 24. A foot injury has limited him to 29 games this season. Even when playing, he has just six points on the campaign. It's been a notable drop-off from last year's rookie season of 13 goals and 38 points.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Ready to return

    Cates (foot) will be activated off injured reserve and return to the lineup Monday against the Blues.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Moves to IR

    Cates (foot) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

    Cates' move to IR opens a roster spot for Olle Lycksell, who was called up in a corresponding move. It doesn't change the timeline for Cates, who won't be available until January while recovering from his broken foot.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Dealing with broken foot

    Cates' lower-body injury is a broken foot, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Head coach John Tortorella provided the update after Tuesday's game versus the Hurricanes. Cates is already expected to be out for 6-8 weeks with the injury. He may eventually be placed on regular or long-term injured reserve, depending on if the Flyers need a roster spot or cap space, respectively.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Out 6-8 weeks

    Cates is expected to be out of action for six-to-eight weeks because of a lower-body injury.

    Cates hasn't provided a point in his past 13 outings. He has one goal, three assists, 19 shots on net and 15 blocked shots over 21 contests this campaign. Bobby Brink will be back in the lineup Tuesday against Carolina.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Tallies first goal of season

    Cates scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Cates has three points over his last two games after going scoreless in the first four contests this season. The 24-year-old forward has played in a middle-six role, though he saw a season-high 18:11 of ice time Tuesday. In addition to his three points, he's added eight shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. No one is truly a lock to stay in the lineup under head coach John Tortorella, but Cates generally does enough of the little things right to avoid the press box.

  • Flyers' Noah Cates: Inks two-year contract

    Cates signed a two-year, $5.25 million contract with Philadelphia on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Cates and the Flyers were able to come to terms on a new agreement prior to salary arbitration, so a hearing won't be necessary. The 24-year-old forward produced 13 goals, 38 points, 107 shots on net and 86 hits over 82 games during his rookie campaign in 2022-23.
