The match between the Philadelphia Flyers vs New Jersey Devils will take place at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday, October 13 at 7:00 PM ET.
On Thursday night, the New Jersey Devils (0-0) will travel to face the Philadelphia Flyers (0-0) in an effort to start their season with a victory. The Devils’ 27-46-9 record at the end of the 2021–22 campaign was the third-worst in the Eastern Conference that year. With a final record of 25-45-11, the Flyers had the second-worst record in the East. In its previous 10 meetings versus Philadelphia, New Jersey is 6-3-1.
With only one postseason participation since the 2011–12 season, the Devils haven’t enjoyed much success over the last ten years. New Jersey has a lot of youthful talent and reliable veterans who they believe can help the club break its four-year playoff drought, so hope is high despite their recent performance.
Due to their second-worst record in the Eastern Conference last year, the Flyers were obliged to fire their coach and hire John Tortorella, who had previously won the Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2003-04. They are expecting that his tough demeanor would enable the squad to reach their full potential. A winning record will be appreciated in the City of Brotherly Love, despite the fact that they are unlikely to make the playoffs this year.
