Vegas Golden Knights
In just their fifth game of the season, the Flyers wrap up the season series with the Vegas Golden Knights, a team struggling out of the game with losses in four of their first five games. Game time is set for 1 p.m.
Two goals in the final nine minutes of the first and three in the early stages of the second set the Flyers on their way to a season-opening victory by a score of 5-2 over the Golden Knights on Thursday night.
The Flyers first opponent is certainly a challenge, the team that defied the odds a year ago to be Western Conference Champions. The Vegas Golden Knights, and the fanfare of a home opener and banner ceremony, await as the first of 82 opponents for the Flyers. Game time is set for 10 p.m.
The success of the Vegas Golden Knights puts a sharper lens on a potential Seattle expansion draft in 2020, one in which the Flyers stand to lose a valuable asset.
