The Flyers finally play the final game of their season-opening four-game road trip on Thursday night. For the remainder of the season, they only have two roads trips that will be longer – five straight games on the road from March 17 to 25 and six straight road games from Dec. 23 to Jan. 5, that will be separated by the holiday break.
The Flyers have seen three different results so far this season. They won the opener in Vancouver in a shootout, lost in regulation to Calgary, then dropped an overtime decision in Edmonton. They close the trip against the Seattle Kraken, looking to end the trip on a high note.
Game time is at 10 p.m.
