The Philadelphia Flyers are returning home after a win against a division rival, the New York Rangers. It took Kevin Hayes scoring the Flyers’ first shootout goal of the season for the Flyers and a strong Martin Jones performance to do it, but despite blowing a 3-0 lead, they came out with a victory. They take on another Metropolitan Division team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, who are out of the playoff picture but rank ahead of the Flyers by a solid margin.
The Blue Jackets are on the second half of a back-to-back with the first game coming against the Boston Bruins.
