In the final tune-up game before the season opener in Florida next Thursday, the Flyers played what was essentially the AHL’s Utica Comets at the Xfinity-Mobile Center. In front of a relatively small crowd just hours before the Phillies-Dodgers NLDS gets underway, the Flyers eked out a 4-3 shootout win over the Devils.
