The Philadelphia Flyers continue their western Canada road trip tonight in Edmonton. Next up is Connor McDavid and the Oilers who are looking for their first win of the season after an 0-3-0 start.

Jett Luchanko, who was a healthy scratch in Game 2, returns to the lineup tonight for the Flyers. Joel Farabee will be a game time decision after missing practice yesterday with an undisclosed injury.

Edmonton has been outscored 15-3 in their three games so far this season. A scoring gap that is as hard to believe as it is to type with the high powered Oilers offense.

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have combine for just three points so far this season.

Sanuel Ersson will make his second start of the season. Ersson was spectacular in the season opener for the Flyers and looks for win number two tonight. On the season, Ersson is 1-0-0 with 1.85 GAA & .923%.
