Flyers Set to Ignite the Ice Against Flames at Wells Fargo Center

As the Philadelphia Flyers gear up to host the Calgary Flames at the Wells Fargo Center, fans are anticipating an intense matchup. The Flyers have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, which could make for an unpredictable game.

In their last game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, despite a valiant effort that led them into a shootout, the Flyers fell short with a 2-3 loss. They demonstrated resilience by pushing through to overtime after trailing in regular time. Their performance was marked by strong goaltending with a save percentage rounding to 100 percent and winning over half of their faceoffs.

However, looking back at their previous games reveals some concerns. A tough loss against the Edmonton Oilers saw them outscored 2-5 and struggling with even-strength play where they were outmatched and had a minus ten goal differential. This was compounded by only winning less than half of their faceoffs and converting none of their powerplay opportunities.

Contrastingly, when facing off against Calgary earlier on home ice, Philadelphia came out on top with a narrow victory scoring three goals to Calgary's four (including an empty-netter). The Flyers' goaltending remained solid with another save percentage rounding up to 100 percent while also improving on faceoff wins.

The upcoming game promises excitement as both teams have shown they can bring high energy and tight competition. The Flyers will need to capitalize on powerplay opportunities and maintain strong defensive play if they hope to secure another win against this formidable opponent.

Fans can catch all the action live from Wells Fargo Center or tune into NHL Network channel 215 or NBCS-PH for TV coverage on January 6th at 1:00 PM Eastern Time.
