After a 10-day break, the Flyers looked sluggish and tired last night in Seattle. But, did extend their point streak to 6-games with a 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

However, after a long night of travel – airport change, departure time change, flight delays, de-icing, runways closed – the Flyers did not make it to their hotel until 5:00am. Tonights game will be a very short turnaround for the Flyers.

The Flyers have not had much success in San Jose lately. Have just one win in their last 6-games to the Shark Tank.

Martin Jones is projected to make his 12th start of the season in his return to San Jose. Jones is 4-2-1 with 2.43 GAA & .928% on the road this season.

If Jones does not start, Felix Sandstrom will make his NHL debut. Sandstrom is 3-7-4 with 3.08 GAA & .896% in 15-games in the AHL this season.
