It’s been nearly two weeks since the Flyers were on the road. That night, they suffered their 10th straight loss against the Islanders, a streak that was snapped when they opened a five-game homestand. On the homestand, they went 2-3-0, and while there continued to be some positives to pull from games, John Tortorella also felt it was time for the team to get away.
A four-game road trip gets underway on Friday night as the Flyers face off against the Vegas Golden Knights, the team sitting atop the Western Conference.
Game time is 10 p.m.

Kevin Hayes continues to pick up points as one of the few consistent producers on the offense. He’s up to three goals and six points in the last five games, in which the Flyers have scored just 12 goals.
Jonathan Marchessault enters the game on a three-game goal scoring streak and has four goals in the last six games after going the previous nine games with just one goal.
Carter Hart was solid once again despite being on the wrong end of Wednesday’s result. Hart made 23 saves on 25 shots in the loss to Washington.
Adin Hill made 24 saves on 25 shots in a win over Detroit last Saturday in his last start. Hill had lost three straight starts prior to that dating back to Nov. 5. This is just Hill’s 10th start of the season and fifth in the last month.
