56 games against only a handful of opponents should be quite the fun season for the Flyers.
With the new divisional alignments for this season, the Flyers will only be playing their games against seven opponents. The teams makes up the East Division, otherwise known as the Mass Mutual Division after the NHL partnered with sponsors for the season.
So the Flyers will play blocks of games against the same opponent, typically two games before moving on to another. The games are either played as a back to back or with one day in between, similar to how it is done in baseball.
