A hard-fought, tight-checking game resulted in a win for the Flyers in New Jersey in a shootout, getting things back on track, even slightly, as the Flyers snapped a two-game losing streak.
The month of November is going to be a constant test. The Flyers play 16 games in the month, starting with Friday's win, and that includes four sets of back-to-backs. The first of the four back-to-backs concludes on Saturday night on home ice as the Flyers take on the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Game time is at 7 p.m.

Brian Elliott was in for six of the seven goals allowed against the Penguins on Tuesday before being pulled after the second period. Elliott had been playing very well up to that point with wins in three straight starts. He will get the start in the back-end of this back-to-back.
Frederik Andersen has been the Leafs go-to in goal this season, though he has struggled at times. Aside from a win over San Jose where he allowed one goal on just 17 shots faced, Andersen has allowed three goals or more in three of his last four starts, including two overtime losses.
