Defeating the Vancouver Canucks in their last contest, the Philadelphia Flyers looked to extend their winning streak to nine games and sweep the season series with the Los Angeles Kings.
Anthony Stolarz received the start from Interim Head Coach Scott Gordon and opposed Jonathan Quick in-net. Quick had a 10-13-3 record coming in, with a 2.97 Goals-Against Average, and a .903 save percentage. The Flyers needed a strong performance out of their offense going against a solid defensive team in Los Angeles in order to get the win.
