Coming off a win over the Detroit Red Wings in their last contest, the Philadelphia Flyers headed home to face one of the best teams the NHL has to offer in the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Carter Hart received his third straight start from Interim Head Coach Scott Gordon, opposing Louis Domingue in-net. Domingue had a 18-4-0 record entering the contest, with a 2.90 Goals-Against Average, and a .907 save percentage. The Flyers needed to hone-in on their game defensively, going up against a vaunted Lightning offense.
