With his start on Sunday, Anthony Stolarz will become the first-ever New Jerseyan to start an NHL game in goal. He's turned in a decent year for the Flyers' American League affiliate Lehigh Valley Phantoms this year.
Since being acquired from St. Louis at this year's draft, Brian Elliott has struggled to emerge as the Flames' No. 1 netminder, and has been largely out-performed by Chad Johnson. Johnson will get the start tonight, for his seventh start in the Flames' last eight games.

Game Notes
- Power Play: Flyers (2nd, 8th at home), Flames (30th, 16th on road)
- Penalty Kill: Flyers (20th, 16th at home), Flames (29th, 16th on road)
- Recent History vs. Flames:
- Feb. 29, 2016 - Brayden Schenn posted a hat trick in the Flyers' 5-3 rout of the Flames, while Wayne Simmonds recorded two goals. Sean Monahan, Michael Frolik and Micheal Ferland all scored for the Flames. Jonas Hiller made 24 saves on 28 shots for the Flames, while Michal Neuvirth turned away 29 of 32 shots.
- A Look Back in Flyers History – Oct. 28, 1980: The Flames' first game in Philadelphia since establishing their new identity as the Calgary Flames surely made them want to relocate back to their roots in Atlanta, as the Flyers smoked them, 8-0. Then-rookie Tim Kerr scored his second goal as a Flyer, while Behn Wilson and Bill Barber scored twice. Al Hill, Brian Propp and Jimmy Watson also scored, while Pete Peeters stopped all 22 shots he faced.
- Milestone Watch
- Claude Giroux remains one point away from passing Simon Gagne for 10th all-time in Flyers history.
