After suffering a 6-1 loss to the New York Islanders, the Philadelphia Flyers headed to Anaheim to face the Ducks in hopes of snapping their three game losing streak. The Ducks were on a losing streak of their own, being winless in their last five games.
Nicolas Aube-Kubel, who was called up on Sunday, made his NHL debut in this game. Tyrell Goulbourne, who was also called up with Aube-Kubel, was a healthy scratch along with Andrew MacDonald and Calvin Pickard.
Brian Elliott started in-net, opposing longtime veteran Ryan Miller.
