|

For the Philadelphia Flyers to meet their goals of being a more competitive team than they were a season ago, the start of their campaign loomed particularly large. The league’s schedule makers gave the team the chance to set an early tone if they could survive four season-opening meetings against Cup contenders, with nine of the team’s 12 games to start the season taking place at the newly minted Xfinity Mobile Arena. Finishing with a 6-5-1 record keeps the Flyers out of an early hole like the one the Calgary Flames have fallen into this season. But by losing to…
