After a die-trying type of weekend for Philadelphia against the Hurricanes, the Flyers had a superior performance against the Habs to bring home a 4-1 win on the road. 

Rasmus Ristolainen made his season debut on Tuesday night, his first game appearance since March 11th. In his first period alone, he recorded 3 hits and took Montreal’s Ivan Demidov off the ice after a cross-check. His physicality fits in wonderfully with the grit of this team and strengthens our bottom defense, and having him back echoed this. 

It was a fairly uneventful appearance for both teams for the majority of the first period. Montreal came out unable to capitalize on 5 shots in the first 5 minutes, and Philadelphia went 0-2 on the powerplay. It was the final minute of play that rerouted the game, as both teams were able to put one on the board. Alexandre Texier was able to get one by Vladar with a slapshot at 19:00, the only goal of the night for Montreal. Just 38 seconds later, Carl Grundstrum responded with his 3rd goal of the season. In his first year with Philadelphia, Grundstrum has recorded 4 points in 6 games played. His quick response to Tippett’s cross-ice pass was a great showing for all involved, the type of play making Flyers fans have been longing for in Tippett this year and the willingness to take a shot that is often lacking with this team. 

The prominence established by Philadelphia in the final seconds of the first period rang strong in the 2nd. They continued to maintain possession of the puck in the neutral zone and dominate the faceoff, preventing Montreal from really getting any strong chances. Instead, Philadelphia continued to generate chances as some key players continued to come into place. 

In his 300th NHL game, Trevor Zegras was able to score goal #14 of the year to give the Flyers the 2-1 lead. Konecny’s feed gave him his 20th assist of the year as the pair continues to excel together. After a slow season for Konecny last year, he’s returning to play like his old self, and its proving to be wildly successful for Philadelphia.

Matvei Michkov secured the puck behind the net deep in the period to feed it to Bobby Brink, who was able to take a one-timer to give the Flyers a 3-1 lead at 3-1. Michkov is slowly getting back into his groove after he announced he would remain in Voorhees for both the Olympic break and next offseason, a promising commitment from the young forward.

Despite a slower play for the Flyers in the third period, Dan Vladar had a slow enough night that he was able to save all 12 shots from Montreal. Another late goal by Travis Konecny gave the Flyers their 4th and final goal of the night with an empty netter at 18:25. 

The win extended the Flyers’ point streak to 5 games. Their road trip continues as they face the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night on what should be a similar performance tonight.

The Flyers finished and moved on from their homestand against the Carolina Hurricanes this weekend, falling twice in consecutive shootouts. Nonetheless, Philadelphia sits at the top of the wildcard after promising performances in both games.

Saturday

The Flyers concluded their 6-game homestand with a 4-3 shootout loss. Despite a strong first period, things drastically slowed down in the 2nd and eventually cost the Flyers the 2 points. 

Shockingly, the Flyers played a dominant first period, despite the first 20 minutes being a consistent struggle so far this year. By the end of the period, Philadelphia had the lead in shots, faceoffs, and goals. After an early failed attempt by Couturier and Grundstrom on a shorthanded 2-1 breakaway, it was worrisome as to how the Flyers would go on to perform. Even at the halfway point, the Canes led the shots 4-2. It was 2 young stars for Philadelphia that turned things around, as a Zegras pass to Bobby Brink gave the Flyers an early lead. It was Brink’s 8th goal of the season, while Zegras and Sanheim earned their 18th and 12th assists, respectively. 

Zegras continued to shine for the Flyers as he and his former Anaheim teammate, along with Travis Konecny, grew the Flyers’ lead 2-0. As the period came to a close, Zegras displayed his impeccable ability to read the play as he took a centering pass from Konecny and sent it home. Zegras now has a 4-goal lead as the leading goal scorer for the team so far, as Owen Tippett follows with 9. This is excluding Tyson Foerster, as he remains on injured reserve for the next 2-3 months. 

Konecny’s assist tied him with Zegras for most assists this season, both having 19 after this weekend’s games. Drysdale has the 2nd most assists of a defenseman, as he and York are tied with 11 while Travis Sanheim has 12.

Despite the dominance of the 1st period continuing over for the start of the 2nd, Carolina began to take over midway through. Despite a solid attempt from Tippett and the Flyers leading shots 4-0 in the first 5 minutes, Yet a turnover by rookie Ty Murchison gave the Canes the upper hand, as Nikolaj Ehlers was able to close the Flyers’ lead 2-1. By the 13-minute mark of the period, Carolina led the Flyers in shots 6-5, only to respond and tie the game at 14:12. Alexander Nikishin was able to get a slap shot by Sam Ersson.

Although Seth Jarvis was able to give the Canes their first lead of the game midway through the third, Carl Grundstrum earned his 2nd of the year in only 5 games played this year just 23 seconds later. With the tying goal, the game was sent to overtime. 

After an uneventful overtime, neither team was able to score through the first 2 rounds of a shootout. Sam Ersson’s shootout success so far this year came to a close as Jackson Blake was able to net one in a must-save for Ersson, giving the Canes the win. The Flyers concluded their 6-game homestand with a 2-2-2 record.

Sunday

`The Flyers traveled to Raleigh for their first road trip of December, seemingly reversing the game flow from Saturday. After a shockingly slow first period for Philadelphia, the Canes led shooting 14-4 and earned both their regulation goals from the night. Despite an early goal from William Carrier and a power play goal from Taylor Hall getting past Dan Vladar, Jamie Drysdale earned his 2nd point of the weekend in the last minute of play. Zegras earned his first of 2 points of the night with an assist on Drysdale’s goal, while Michkov earned his first point in the last 5 games with the secondary assist. This concluded scoring for both teams for the majority of the game.

In the first 2 periods of play, Drysdale was 1 for 1 on shots, secured a takeaway, and blocked 2 shots in 15 minutes and 18 seconds of playing time. Drysdale has had a great year so far, often succeeding in the shadow of Zegras, as he becomes a vital aspect to the teams’ defense. 

The Flyers were able to hold their own and give the Canes a stronger challenge in the second. Although they were unable to score, they played physical and turned things around to go onto dominate the game. At times, they didn’t even seem to be the slower of the 2 teams. 

The 3rd period continued similarly, yet the Canes appeared tired and slow and Philadelphia ran with it. They outshot Carolina 15-7 before Zegras was able to get one in the back of the net to send the game to overtime yet again. 

After another uneventful overtime, except for a bad tripping call against Bobby Brink, the pair went to overtime for a similar fate to Saturday’s appearance. While Zegras managed to get the puck past Bussi before being stopped by the bar, Dvorak and Michkov both had their shots blocked. A 2nd-round goal by the Canes earned them the win, as the Flyers fell 0-2 on the weekend. 

Despite earning half of the potential points, the Flyers didn’t go down without a fight in either games this weekend. There were certainly times they appeared to be the better team, yet their inconsistency made its mark. There wasn’t anything blatantly awful about either game once they got going, it was just getting there and keeping it up that was the struggle.

While the Canes sit on top of the conference right now, the Flyers have given them a challenge in all 3 meetings this year. All have gone past regulation, with an overtime loss in October and this weekend’s shootout losses. While Carolina has swept the series so far, with only one more match to go in April, the Flyers have shown immense grit and effort against this top team, and truly gave them a run for their money. While consistency may have been lacking, you can’t say the same for the effort this team has shown.

While Cam York made his return on Sunday, I hope to see Risto join him for his season debut this week. 

The Flyers continue their road trip throughout the rest of December, having only 1 home game remaining in 2025 sandwiched between 4 away games on each end. They play 3 games in the next 5 days, with Montreal coming up on Tuesday at 7:00pm. 

After a disappointingly close loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday afternoon, the Flyers continued their homestand with a victory against the San Jose Sharks. The Flyers were the better team all around, outshooting, outscoring, and blocking the Sharks’ star Macklin Celebrini from earning any points.

The Flyers came out hungry and dominant. Even though San Jose’s Collin Graf was able to kick off scoring for the night, the Flyers managed to lead the shooting 10-0 in the first 10 minutes of play. Graf got lucky with a wide open half the net to give the Sharks an early 1-0 advantage. Yet late in the period, Dvorak was able to mend a seemingly dead play to tie the game for the Flyers. Dvorak was an offseason addition looking to add some depth to the Flyers’ offense with some cheap guys with some experience under their belts, yet he has seemed to fit in seamlessly with this team. Him and Zegras have played wonderfully together and have undeniable chemistry. Zegras and Konecny earned assist points on Dvorak’s goal, earning Konecny his 500th career point. 

Dvorak had an outstanding first period overall, earning 4 of the Flyers’ 16 shots and going 6 for 6 on the faceoffs. His linemate Zegras also played well, earning 3 shots and 1 point in the first period. 

Early in the 2nd period, Grundstrom earned his first goal this year in his second game with the Flyers against his former team. He deflected Seeler’s shot to give him and Sanheim assist points. Konecny took a penalty later in the period for hooking, and San Jose seemed as though they were about to earn their 2nd point of the night until Hathaway blocked a shot. The Sharks were only able to earn 2 shots on goal in their powerplay, as the Flyers would go on to be 2 for 2 on penalty kills for the night. 

With another late goal, Cates recorded his 7th goal of the year with assists from Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale. I’ve been a Drysdale fan since he came to Philadelphia, but he’s really lived up to it this year. He’s proved himself to be a vital piece in our plays, recording 10 assists on the season so far, tied with Sanheim for the most of Flyers’ defensemen this year. He’s a strong 2-way player with a strong hockey IQ, who only seems to improve each year. 

The Flyers finished out the game with a slightly messy 3rd period, with a few messy plays almost costing them the 3-1 lead. Luckily, they continued to fight and did not allow San Jose to succeed on any chances. Konecny earned another point on the night with an empty netter late in the period, a successful pattern for the night. The Flyers closed the game with a 30-18 shot advantage over the Sharks.

The Flyers pressured the Sharks into 11 turnovers in the first 2 periods as they played strong defense and made all the chances for themselves. This was an aspect of their play that they did not perform well with on Sunday, luckily changing things up for Tuesday night’s faceoff. Hopefully this carries over into tonight’s game.

The Flyers take on the Vegas Golden Knights tonight at 7:00pm in what was going to be Carter Hart’s return to Philadelphia, yet he will not be getting the start after all. The Flyers will have to keep up their hunger, as they have gone 7-3 in their last 10 games compared to the Golden Knights’ 5-2-3.

The Flyers played their 3rd of 6 consecutive home games against the Colorado Avalanche yesterday afternoon in what ended up being a close 3-2 loss, yet it didn’t always look like that was a possibility. 

The Flyers were given very low expectations heading into this game, given that Colorado is the best team in the league by far, being ranked #1 in the NHL with 3 more points and 1 less game played than the #2 spot (Dallas) and 9 more points than the #3 (Washington). Although Colorado was on the 2nd game of a back-to-back weekend, and the Flyers had just hadn’t played since Wednesday, it’s also important to note that the Flyers were without some of their best players both offensively and defensively. Cam York is still out day-to-day, while Foerster remains on injured reserve after an upper-body injury in last Monday’s game. Although Colorado was always expected to win this one, the Flyers current injury statuses certainly didn’t help. 

The Flyers were able to kick things off positively, as Sean Couturier was able to score just 2 minutes in on both his birthday and 900th NHL game. 

Unfortunately, that was the only positive part of the first period. The Flyers went on to be outshot 12-3 as our defense left goalie Sam Ersson out to dry. Ersson allowed 2 goals for Colorado, the tying goal midway through the period by Brent Burns and the leading powerplay goal by Brock Nelson to close the 1st. While Ersson wasn’t exactly on it in the first period, much to fans’ dismay, the Avalanche’s 2-1 lead was anything but his fault. The team overall looked disjointed and messy, as they played sloppy hockey and let the Avs run away with the game. There were multiple opportunities the Flyers could have had, yet instead ended up in careless turnovers leading to minutes of Colorado possession. The first period curse was roaring, and eventually went on to cost them the game. 

The second period did show improvement, yet it simply was mediocre hockey to start rather than the awful performance of the first. By the second half of things, the team started to come together, yet there still was enough time for the Avs to get their third and final goal of the night early on by Valeri Nichushkin. Travis Konecny was able to respond on a short breakaway, giving the Flyers their second and final goal of the night.

After a few minutes of slowed play after Konecny’s 7th goal of the season, another shot attempt by the Flyers’ assistant captain seemed to reroute the game for Philadelphia. They were able to close the gap between the teams, as Colorado only outshot us 13-9 in the second period. 

For the rest of the game, the Flyers really held their own and even seemed to be the better playing team in the third period. They dominated the play all around, only allowing Colorado 3 shots compared to Philadelphia’s 13, a complete 180 from the first period. They had what seemed to be a guaranteed opportunity to tie things up early in the 3rd, when Trevor Zegras got his eye on a breakaway, yet was stopped with a holding call against Nathan MacKinnon. He was awarded a penalty shot, which seemed like a clear path to success for Philadelphia as Zegras is one of the top penalty shot takers in the league. Yet in true Flyers fashion, Zegras took one of the weakest penalty shots I’ve seen from him, and the Flyers were not able to tie things up. 

The Flyers went on to have a flurry of chances in the final minutes of play after calling a 30-second timeout. They pulled Ersson for the extra skater and seemed as though they could pull it off. This team is known for its comebacks this year, yet they weren’t able to get any past the Av’s Blackwood. 

Although many fans were confused by Ersson’s starting over Vladar, Ersson played one of the strongest games I’ve seen from him. He made 25 saves on 28 shots against the top team in the league; he certainly wasn’t the issue. Our issue was our first period- big shocker. Although they played well for the back half of the second period, and truly played exceptionally in the third, the first period was so discombobulated that the recovery time cost them half the game. Had they played even as they did in the 2nd period to start, they would have had a serious chance at some points against Colorado. They even seemed to have chances in the final minutes, yet it was all unfortunately rushed as the clock ran out. They need to be able to overcome these roster moves or rusty play after some time off if they’re going to be a competitive team. It’s clearly in there, it’s just a matter of getting there in a timely fashion. 

The San Jose Sharks come into town for a 7:00pm faceoff at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Either goalie wouldn’t surprise me to start, yet I hope to see Cam York back on the ice. 

After a 3-game winning streak, the Flyers played some exceptionally sloppy hockey last night. They fell 5-1 to the Pittsburgh Penguins, tying the Keystone Rivalry series 1-1. What started out as manageable, especially for a team that’s been so successful with the comebacks, quickly morphed into a slippery slope of slow, unorganized hockey. As Tocchet said in his postgame interview, we had a few too many guys who “weren’t in it”.

Although the Flyers narrowly outshot Pittsburgh in the first period (8-7), Sidney Crosby was able to score on the powerplay halfway through the period. Beyond the first goal, things weren’t looking too bad. I would’ve liked to see the Flyers come out stronger in the first rather than regress, as the first period was a key advantage in their wins this weekend. But you can’t win them all, right?

To put it as nicely as possible, shit hit the fan in the second period. Tyson Foerster scored on an early powerplay for his 10th of the year, becoming the Flyers’ leading goal scorer this season, despite missing 4 games in early November. Yet this wasn’t the reset the Flyers were looking for. Rather than reclaiming success, energy, and hunger, Foerster’s moment of victory was simply a lapse in the system. Rodrigo Abols was called for holding against Ryan Graves, allowing Crosby’s second goal of the night to develop on the powerplay. 

Unfortunately, Crosby’s success wasn’t the worst part of the night. 13 minutes into the second period, the injury bug struck Tyson Foerster yet again. After tying the game just minutes earlier, Foerster attempted a one-timer, yet fell with his arm seemingly dangling as he made contact with the puck. He immediately took himself down the tunnel as chaos ensued in front of the net. Foerster did not return to the game. Fans speculate that it is a dislocation of sorts given the nature of his limp arm, meaning he would be out for about 8 weeks, give or take depending on the severity. Yet as it was a no-contact injury, there is possibility of a tear of sorts, which could be a season ending injury for the forward. Foerster went through shoulder surgery over the summer, yet was fit to return for opening night where he has been a staple for the Flyers’ offense. Despite missing 4 games in early November, Foerster has earned 13 points (10G, 3A) in 21 games played. 

It was just downhill from there. The second period concluded with another powerplay goal for Pittsburgh, giving them a 3-1 advantage. Fans tried to stay optimistic as this team has pulled off some impressive comebacks, yet the Flyers didn’t live up to it. 

A third and final consecutive powerplay goal midway through the third was Pittsburgh’s response to a slashing call against Matvei Michkov. Michkov has had 8 penalty minutes in his last 5 games. I respect the grit, and his teammates have mostly been able to cover for him, but I could see this being a slippery slope quickly. We saw such last night with a tired team after 5 games in the last 8 days, so I’m hoping this doesn’t become a more serious problem. The Penguins scored their final goal of the night deep in the third to secure their 5-1 win over Philadelphia.

It was a sloppy night all around. Pittsburgh was hungry for the win after losing 7-2 against Toronto in their last game, and we were riding a false high after our clean-sleep weekend. In reality, Pittsburgh had recovered veterans who were ready to come back against Philadelphia, while we had young players who were exhausted from the last week or so. We played slow and sloppy and gave them far too many giveaways. For a team that can play strong hockey, we need to better be able to adjust to playing through being tired. This isn’t the first time this has been a struggle, and I believe it to be something setting us back from being a truly strong team. While I’m never one to blame the goalie, Vladar was far off his A-game, which is to be expected after his exceptionally vital performance the last few weeks. 

The team will take today off as we wait to hear more about Foerster’s prognosis. We hope this is not a season-ending injury and wish him the best. The Flyers move onto their second of 6 consecutive home games on Wednesday at 7:00pm against the Buffalo Sabres before continuing a challenging homestand. 

After going 1-1 on their Florida road trip earlier this week, the Philadelphia Flyers swept their back-to-back weekend against both the Islanders and the Devils. Friday afternoon’s game in Elmont, New York, ended with a 4-3 shootout win, and Saturday’s faceoff against the Devils ended in the Flyers’ favor 5-3. 

Friday Afternoon vs. Islanders

While the first period curse was less obvious for the Flyers, Philadelphia made due with the low chances both teams faced. 2 of Philadelphia’s regulation goals were earned on only 3 shots in the first 20 minutes of play, while Sam Ersson saved all 6 of the Islanders’ shots. After a somewhat messy play by the Flyers, including a Konecny turnover, Foerster secured the loose puck for his 9th goal of the season, briefly becoming the team’s leader in goals for the year. His post-injury hot streak continues, and only seems to get better. 8:30 into the first, the Flyers lead 1-0.

The Flyers continued their new back-to-back goal habit, with Sean Couturier advancing the Flyers advantage to 2-0 just 22 seconds after Foerster’s goal. The Flyers’ captain earned his 4th goal of the year after making use of an Islander’s turnover and getting a 7-hole past New York goalie David Rittich. 

The second period evened things out all around. Although the Islanders doubled the Flyers’ shots in the first period, Philadelphia’s 12 shots in the second period were comparable to New York’s 13. Trevor Zegras scored early in the period on a wrist shot, with commotion in front of the net throwing Rittich off. Although they started on a bang in the second period, and Ersson had performed well so far, the Islanders went on to score 3 unanswered goals across the rest of the period. The regulation scoring concluded for the night at 3-3 with 20 minutes of play left.

The third period was low in chances for both teams. After the Flyers’ defense was lacking in the second, the goaltending improved for the third to deny all 9 of the Islanders shots. The Flyers had only 5 chances in the period and were unable to find success on any of them. The most impressive play of the third period was the penalty kill the Flyers accomplished on Matvei Michkov’s double minor. Michkov’s high-sticking earned him 4 minutes in the box, which his teammates covered for completely. 

An uneventful overtime gave the Flyers their 5th ticket to a shootout this year, where Ersson yet again stood on his head for us. Trevor Zegras kicked things off, making the goal for his 17th shootout goal in his career on only 25 shots, now leading the league for most successful shootout history of all time. Barzal’s goal was stopped by Ersson in the first round, and Michkov’s second round shot was blocked by Rittich. Ersson allowed the Islander’s second attempt, but blocked their third. Konecny’s successful shot in the 3rd round gave the Flyers the win.

Ersson had a great game, recording a .903 SV%. Although the offense came out with a bang, they slowed down for the next 40 minutes and our defense let up in the second period. Besides our first period and our standout penalty kill in the third, it was an uneventful appearance until the shootout.

Saturday Night vs. Devils

Dan Vladar continued to shine, getting his first start of the weekend on Saturday in Providence. The Flyers played a fairly even game with the Devils, and it would’ve been a close one if it wasn’t for Matvei Michkov, some stellar goaltending, and an awarded goal on an Islander’s tripping. 

The Flyers’ first period curse continued to grow into something of the past as they outshot the Devils 8-6 in the first period, yet each team earned a point. Owen Tippett earned his 100th NHL goal and 200th NHL point 5 minutes into the game on a backhand shot, with the assist from Dvorak. The Flyers had the early lead and gained some momentum after Tippett’s milestone, even though the Devils tied the game midway through the period. A one-timer slapshot from the Devils got past Dan Vladar, yet didn’t slow the Flyers down going into the second. 

Within 2 minutes, Matvei Michkov earned 2 of his 4 goals in the last 5 games. Less than a minute into the period, Michkov’s backhand shot caused some confusion at the net, yet was awarded to him for his 7th goal of the year, with Travis Konecny earning his 13th assist of the season. Michkov scored his 8th of the year as he deflected Konecny’s slapshot past New Jersey’s Jacob Markstrom, earning him his 14th assist so far. A slapshot from Zergas halfway through the period gave the Flyers the 4-1 lead, as Zegras’ 9th goal of the season tied him with Tyson Foerster for Philadelphia’s leading goal scorer this year. Yet all good things come to an end, as Philadelphia’s 3 consecutive goals were answered by a Devils’ powerplay goal by Timo Meier. 

The Devils continued to shrink the gap as Dawson Mercer got an unassisted backhand shot past Vladar early in the third period. Although the Flyers had an uneventful third period, they held the 4-3 lead throughout and caused the Devils to pull their goalie for the final minutes of play. Yet Tippett got the breakaway before being tripped by the Devils and was awarded his 2nd goal of the night in place of a penalty shot.

The Flyers recorded a 5-3 win over New Jersey as Dan Vladar had a successful .906 SV% and Michkov continued to perform as we needed him to. 

The Flyers played a successful road trip, earning 6 points on a 3-1 record for the road trip over the last week. The Flyers return to home ice tonight for the 2nd of 4 games of the Battle of the Turnpike as they face the Pittsburgh Penguins at 7:00pm.

Unlike Monday night, the Flyers gave Philadelphia something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving eve. After a slow start all around, the Flyers came out on top with explosive goal scoring and exceptional goaltending for a 4-2 win. 

Our first period was, as usual, less than ideal. The early minutes of the game had some good maintenance of the puck for Philadelphia, yet it quickly turned into turnovers and plenty of chances for Florida. Dan Vladar stopped this game from the slippery slope of a first period that we normally face, saving 14 of 15 shots in the first 20 minutes alone. Brad Marchand got one behind Vladar after an attempt by Sam Bennett was loose and slid under Philadelphia’s Nick Seeler, basically landing on Marchand’s stick. A smart, urgent play by Marchand, yet no true possibility of Vladar stopping it. Defensively, we had virtually no possession of the puck. We were only able to record 7 of our 18 total shots on goal in the first period. 

Things began to even out in the second period, with both teams only earning 5 shots on goal. After an early Panthers goal for their second of the night, our defense came together to steady things up and some key offensive plays got the Flyers on the board. Emil Andrae earned his first goal of the year on a messy play in front of the net. Drysdale and Tippett earned the assists, their 7th and 8th of the year, respectively. 

After another messy goal, initially looking like Emil Andrae had earned his second of both the night and the year, Michkov earned the tying point for the Flyers. Andrae earned the assist, and Drysdale recorded his second assist of the night. 

Although things stayed steady in the third, with 6 shots for Philadelphia and 7 for Florida. Yet as the Flyers looked like they were about to go to overtime for the seemingly hundredth time this year, Tyson Foerster scored his 8th of the year with just 46 seconds left to give the Flyers the lead. This was his 4th goal in the last 4 games as he seems to launch a hot streak. After a slow return from his injury, he seems to be back and better than before. 

The Flyers have had a habit this week of scoring back-to-back goals, and last night was no different. 21 seconds after Foerster’s leading goal, Couturier gave the Flyers a 4-2 lead and win for the night. 

Dan Vladar made a total of 25 saves on 27 shots, really standing on his head to secure a Flyers’ win against a skilled Florida Panthers. 

They certainly gave fans plenty to be thankful for heading into Thanksgiving. The Flyers head back up north on Black Friday for a 4:00pm puckdrop at the New York Islanders, the first of this weekend’s back-to-back games. They are still on the road Saturday again against the Devils for a 7:00pm puckdrop.
