Time : 7:00 pm
TV / Radio : NBCSports Philadelphia + – 97.5 The Fanatic
Records : WSH 0-1-1 | PHI 0-1-1
With 13-days til the season opener, the Flyers are still in search of their mix. Due to injuries, the Flyers are in scramble mode to find that perfect mix.
“It is just the matter of getting on the same page,” Sean Couturier said after Tuesday’s 3-2 loss to the Islanders. “Get the rust out of us, come back to the little details, and playing the right way.”
While the Flyers have struggled to shake the rust off so far this preseason, the end goal remains the same. A goal that has their eyes set on October 15th.
“Think everyone needs to make sure they are doing everything they can to be ready for the first game,” Derick Brassard said after his 1st game action on Tuesday. “That is the only thing that matters.”
After a shaky first start vs Boston, Martin Jones will get his first action in-front of the Philadelphia faithful. Jones will play the full game tonight vs the Capitals.
