Key Storylines

Recent form

The Flyers had a two-game winning streak snapped in their last game, suffering a 4-1 loss to the Seattle Kraken where they managed only one goal despite outshooting their opponent early. Philly is in third place in the Metropolitan Division, but can’t afford to get comfortable with how competitive that division has been.

Vancouver ended a two-game losing streak in their last game, defeating the Kraken 3-2 in a shootout on Monday night. That was the second game of a back-to-back for the Kraken and Vancouver took advantage of that, even if it wasn’t pretty. This is the second straight night on the ice for the Canucks, who will try to overcome that to get a win here.

Goaltending

Goaltending could be a defining factor in this contest. Philadelphia’s Samuel Ersson should get the start in this contest. He enters this game with a sub-3.00 GAA, though not by much. On the Vancouver side, Thatcher Demko has generally been reliable with a 2.63 GAA and a .909 save percentage. The Canucks should have the upper hand in net in this contest.
