After banking a win against Boston for the first time in 12 years, the Arizona Coyotes (7th in Central Division) will try to record consecutive victories while hosting the Philadelphia Flyers (7th in Metropolitan), who have won just two of their past 16 contests.
A second consecutive defeat (0-1-1) was on the cards for the Philadelphia Flyers (9-13-6), who kicked off their current four-date road trip with a 2-1 overtime setback against the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena on Friday. The Flyers, who had no power-play opportunities in Sin City, were outshot 34-28, but killed both of their penalties, blocked 22 attempts and outhit Vegas 40-23, eventually tying the game at 1-1 at the start of the second period, only for the hosts to bounce back with the winner at 3:21 of the extra session. Scott Laughton (4 goals, 10 points this year) tallied for Philly, which has dropped four of its past five decisions (1-3-1), having won just twice in its most recent 16 games (2-10-4).
Goalie Carter Hart made 32 saves on Friday to take his current performance record to 8-8-5 for the season with a 2.75 G AA and a .913 save percentage. He has registered a 1-1-0 career total against the Arizona Coyotes with a 2.36 GAA and a .927 save percentage. The Flyers, meanwhile, are scoring the absolute lowest number of goals per game this year (2.36), while allowing the 14th highest quantity on the defensive end (3.21). They are 4th from the bottom in power play with a 16.7% conversion rate and 23rd in penalty kill with 75.3% efficiency.
