The Flyers have not won nine straight games since April 1995, but with a win tonight at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, they’ll have done that. Just for fun, take a minute to look at the box score from that ninth-straight win 21 and a half years ago. Dominic Roussel picked up the win for the Flyers in net.
Tonight in Detroit, we’re going to see Anthony Stolarz in net for his second-ever NHL start. His first was a two Sundays ago against the Calgary Flames, the first game of this now-eight-game win streak. Steve Mason has been phenomenal for the Flyers during this streak (for the most part), but with the back-to-back games and the team traveling overnight to Detroit, this is a good opportunity to get Stolarz another game.
