A stretch of nine out of 10 games on the road comes to an end for the Flyers on Saturday afternoon. The Flyers have gone 4-3-2 in the first nine games of those 10, including a win in the lone game on home ice.

The time on the road finally concludes for the Flyers, and it doesn’t come against an easy opponent. The Flyers face off against the Edmonton Oilers, a team with superstar talent, a high-powered offense, and that is starting to turn things around.

Game time is 3:30 p.m.
