Five Storylines to Follow as Flyers Visit Devils

The orange and black then spent its Black Friday on Long Island. Trevor Zegras added on to his near-perfect shootout percentage as the Flyers escaped with a 4-3 shootout victory against the Islanders.

Since starting 0-3-0 on the road, Philadelphia is now 5-4-1 away from Xfinity Mobile Arena. It looks for win No. 6 before heading back home to kick off December with a six-game road trip.

2. The Comeback Kids Are Alright

Despite not trailing in the win over the Islanders, the Flyers have recorded the most come-from-behind victories in the league with 10.

Philadelphia has overcame a one-goal deficit six times while coming back from a two-goal hole four times to win. They have also secured at least a point in seven games after trailing when entering the third period.

3. Back to Back

Both the Flyers and Devils are playing the second game of a back-to-back. The Flyers defeated the Islanders 4-3 while the Devils blanked the Sabres 5-0 led by a 42-save shutout for Jake Allen.

Philadelphia has lost the second game of both its back-to-backs this season, including a 2-1 loss to Calgary on Nov. 2 following a 5-2 loss to Toronto on Nov. 1. It also fell 5-1 at Dallas on Nov. 15 after beating the Blues 6-3 on Nov. 14.

New Jersey won the second game of its first back-to-back, defeating Minnesota 4-1 on Oct. 22 after beating the Maple Leafs 5-2 on Oct. 21. It fell to Anaheim 4-1 on Nov. 2 after defeating the Kings 4-1 on Nov. 1.

4. Goalie Matchups

Tonight's contest will feature two top goalies once again as Dan Vladar goes against Jacob Markstrom.

Vladar is coming off a 27-save performance against the Panthers on Nov. 26 and has won three-straight games. On the year, the Czech netminder is 9-4-1 with a 2.39 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage.

On the other side of the ice, Markstrom is fresh off a 23-save overtime win over the Blues on Nov. 26 and has won two straight. Overall, the 35-year-old is 7-3-1, posting a 3.56 goals-against average and a .874 save percentage.

5. Andrae's On Fire

Flyers defenseman Emil Andrae has quickly become one of the most contributing parts of this young Philadelphia squad.

The 23-year-old blueliner is riding a two-game point streak where he's recorded a goal and two assists. He notched a goal to cut the lead to one and added a helper on the game-tying goal by Matvei Michkov against the Panthers. That effort marked his second-career multi-point game and second of the season.
