Records helper in loss Cates managed an assist in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Cates picked up two goals and seven assists over the last 11 games of the season, rebounding after a poor stretch in early March. The 26-year-old forward played at center much of the year and typically saw top-six minutes. His offense doesn't reflect that -- he ends the season with 16 goals, 21 assists, 110 shots on net, 87 hits, 54 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 78 appearances. Still, Cates took strides defensively and could be a reliable two-way forward for the Flyers in the years to come. He'll be a restricted free agent this summer.

Finds twine Sunday Cates scored a goal and put three shots on net in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win against the Senators.

Impact Cates found the back of the net for Philadelphia's second goal in the latter stages of the second period. With Sunday's tally, the 26-year-old forward is up to 16 goals, 36 points and 109 shots on net in 76 appearances this year. Cates is inching closer to a new career high in points as he's just two tallies away from tying his point total of 38 from the 2022-23 season. He's settled into the top-line center role and has averaged north of 17:30 TOI since the calendar flipped to 2025. Cates is a restricted free agent this upcoming summer and if Philadelphia elects to retain him, he should see top-six minutes for the Flyers next season as well.

Provides two assists Wednesday Cates logged two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Rangers.

Impact Cates has six points over his last seven games, though he's been bolstered by a pair of multi-point efforts in that span. It's still better than his nine-game slump from March 6-22. The 26-year-old has been an effective depth scorer in 2024-25, earning 15 goals, 19 assists, 106 shots on net, 86 hits, 52 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 74 appearances so far.

Three-point effort Saturday Cates scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.

Impact The 26-year-old produced his first multi-point performance since Feb. 25 in the big win. Cates had all but vanished in March, managing just one helper over the prior 12 contests, but his ice time has remained consistent. With the Flyers' offense suddenly springing to life under interim head coach Brad Shaw, Cates could have a strong finish to the season.

Gathers helper Sunday Cates logged an assist in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Cates snapped a nine-game slump with the primary helper on Bobby Brink's first-period tally. During that slump, Cates had a minus-6 rating with 16 shots on net, 10 hits and nine blocked shots. His evolution as an all-situations player has helped shield him from losing too much ice time when his offense is cold. The 26-year-old has 29 points, 101 shots on net, 70 hits, 48 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 68 appearances this season, mainly as a middle-six center.
