After a brief stop home for a triumphant 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Nashville Predators go back on the road to face the other Pennsylvania team, taking on the Philadelphia Flyers tonight.
The Preds haven’t played the Flyers since January 2019—their 2019-20 games were lost to the cancellation of the season due to COVID-19, and obviously they never met during the divisional 2020-21 season. There have been a few changes to both teams’ rosters since then, and it’s been a very rough year for the Flyers.
Former Preds fan-favorite Ryan Ellis has only played four games for the Flyers this season, missing most of the time with assorted injuries.
