Coming off of a stomping defeat at the hands of the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Philadelphia Flyers needed to get back on the right track. A familiar opponent can play in the favor of a struggling team, especially one that they’ve beaten before. The New Jersey Devils lost to the Flyers earlier this season with Carter Hart securing the victory. The hope is for Hart to come back to the skill he possesses. In all, Philadelphia needs a win back.
This game was a back and forth affair. The referees let the players play and this was a physical game on the ice all night long.
