After an ugly weekend in Boston, the Flyers remain on the road for their next series of the season. The schedule turns and brings on an upstart New Jersey Devils team that has won three of its first five games this season.
The Flyers are out to avenge another 6-1 loss – they did last Tuesday against the Sabres – and try to return to the win column after suffering back-to-back regular season losses for the first time since last January. The Devils are looking to follow up a 2-0 win over the Islanders on Sunday.
The Flyers face the Devils at 7 p.m.
Team Leaders
| Philadelphia Flyers | GP | G | A | P | New Jersey Devils | GP | G | A | P |
| Kevin Hayes | 6 | 3 | 5 | 8 | Jack Hughes | 5 | 3 | 4 | 7 |
| Travis Konecny | 6 | 5 | 2 | 7 | Ty Smith | 5 | 1 | 5 | 6 |
| Jake Voracek | 6 | 1 | 6 | 7 | Miles Wood | 5 | 3 | 1 | 4 |
| James van Riemsdyk | 6 | 3 | 2 | 5 | Kyle Palmieri | 5 | 0 | 3 | 3 |
| Nolan Patrick | 6 | 1 | 3 | 4 | Yegor Sharangovich | 5 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
It may not have been a good week for the Flyers, but Brian Elliott's week was pretty solid with the only win of the week in a 40-save shutout. As much as the Flyers will want to lean on Carter Hart and let him overcome his early-season struggles, Elliott needs the consistent work to stay sharp and this game provides him another opportunity to do so.
While the Devils deal with some players unavailable and out of the lineup, Scott Wedgewood has stepped up and filled in the role nicely. His secured the shutout in his last game, making 28 saves against the Islanders and bouncing back from a loss to them earlier in the week.
Projected Lineups
Flyers Scratches: Sean Couturier (rib injury), Phil Myers (rib injury), Morgan Frost (shoulder injury), Erik Gustafsson (healthy)
Devils Scratches: Mackenzie Blackwood (COVID-19 Unavailable), Jesper Bratt (COVID-19 Unavailable), Nico Hischier (injury), Will Butcher (healthy), Connor Carrick (healthy), Sami Vatanen (injury)
Lineup Notes
- Flyers: For the first time this season, Shayne Gostisbehere takes the ice after missing time on the COVID-19 unavailable list. Erik Gustafsson was the odd-man out defensively, so it appears he is a scratch. Nolan Patrick missed Monday's practice with a maintenance day, but still skated on the skills rink and is expected to play.
- Devils: The Devils are missing a few pieces, notably goalie Mackenzie Blackwood as he remains on the COVID-19 Unavailable list. There are no significant changes expected from their lineup on Sunday.
