The Philadelphia Flyers kick off the new season with a road swing through western Canada that begins on Friday in Vancouver, where they will face a Canucks team hoping to prove its dramatic 26-point improvement last season was no fluke.

The rebuilding Flyers are trying to return to the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 season. They are one of the youngest teams in the league. Fourteen of the 23 players on the opening-night roster are below age 26, including 19-year-old Russian Matvei Michkov.
