In the spirit of late November, there will be plenty of time for home cooking for the Flyers for the rest of the month. Monday’s game marked the first in a stretch of seven of nine games at home. One of the rare exceptions comes on Thursday night, as the Flyers make a quick trip north to face the Ottawa Senators.
The Flyers have started to turn a corner of late, with a 4-2-1 record in their last seven games. Ottawa is fresh off a 3-0 shutout win in Toronto on Tuesday and has won back-to-back games.
Game time is 7 p.m.
