Philadelphia is on the road for the 1st time this season after clocking home wins over the New Jersey Devils (5-2) Thursday and Vancouver Canucks (3-2) Saturday. The Flyers have scored 3 special-teams goals while getting good goaltending in the early going.
The Lightning are at home after starting the season with 3 straight games on the road. A shaky performance on faceoffs (34.4%) this season has fed into some significant puck-possession issues in Tampa’s 2 losses.
The Lightning outscored the Flyers 15-4 in sweeping the 3-game season series last year.
