It’s the final trial run for the Flyers in the preseason, as the team closes out the eight-game schedule with a trip to Boston to face the Bruins. Game time is at 5 p.m.
The Flyers announced that forward Corban Knight will be out for three weeks with an upper-body injury, after leaving Thursday’s game early.
The Flyers reduced the roster by two players, sending defenseman Phil Myers and forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel to the Phantoms, GM Ron Hextall announced on Tuesday.
Despite the three-goal rally that made it a game again on the scoreboard, the Flyers were badly outplayed for a stretch of the game and made mistakes that can’t translate to regular-season play. More from the Flyers 4-3 loss to the Bruins in our Postgame Review.
The competition for the final spots has entered the final week of the preseason, which includes three more games for the Flyers. The first is on Monday night at Wells Fargo Center, as the Flyers take on the Boston Bruins.
