The Philadelphia Flyers are back. Whether or not that’s a good thing or a bad thing is to be determined, but they’re back.
John Tortorella’s first regular-season appearance behind the Flyers bench gets underway at Wells Fargo Center tonight, and the Orange and Black’s pesky division rival from North Jersey will be in the building to commence the 2022-23 campaign.
The New Jersey Devils finished higher up in the standings than the Flyers last season, but just barely — they ended the season with 63 points while the Flyers finished with 61. All things considered, both squads were pretty awful last season, and neither club is expected to set the world on fire this season either.
