The Philadelphia Flyers play the Colorado Avalanche for their first of two meetings in the 2023-24 season.
The Philadelphia Flyers are in Denver to take on the Colorado Avalanche in their first meeting of the season. The Flyers head into the game on a three game winning streak - having most recently put an end to the Arizona Coyotes winning streak.
The Flyers are 6-3-1 in their last ten game played. Additionally they are second in the Metropolitan Division, behind only the New York Rangers. The team has been finding ways to win, and that will be put to test over one of the most recent Stanley Cup Champions.
I'd anticipate Carter Hart being the starting goalie and for the line combinations to stay mostly the same.
Tale of the Tape
One of the keys for this game for the Flyers to stick to the defensive game that John Tortorella wants them to play. They are going up against the high powered offense of the Avalanche and can't risk opening up the game for them.
The Avalanche enter the game with the fifth best goals for per game in the NHL with 3.5. In contrast, the Flyers are ranked 22nd with 2.92 goals for per game.
Special teams could be a factor, but both teams are similarly ranked for both penalty kill and power play. Staying out of the box is a good habit to have and I'd expect the Flyers to keep the contest as low-event as possible.
