The Rick Tocchet era will begin for the Flyers on October 9th. But it’s not going to be an easy start for either of them.
Kicking off the season, the Flyers will head to Sunrise to take on the Florida Panthers. Four days later, the teams will face each other again as the Panthers come to Philadelphia for their home opener.
The Flyers didn’t fare well in a three game series against the Panthers last season, claiming victory in only in the December matchup with a narrow loss in the both the November and January games finale.
