The Philadelphia Flyers, in conjunction with the National Hockey League, today unveiled their schedule for the 2018-19 season.
The Flyers will open their season on Thursday, October 4 on the road when they visit the Vegas Golden Knights as part of a two-game road trip, which wraps up two days later at Colorado. They will open the home portion of their schedule on Tuesday, October 9 vs. San Jose. The season will conclude on Saturday, April 6 when the Flyers host the Carolina Hurricanes.
The NHL heads into its sixth season under the current alignment of four divisions - two each in the Eastern and Western Conference. The two Eastern Conference divisions contain eight teams each. The schedule design continues to emphasize divisional rivalries along with the division-based playoff seedings. The Flyers will play all of their divisional opponents four times - twice at home and twice on the road - for a total of 28 of their 82 games against opponents in their own division. The Flyers will see some of those games earlier this year, with five divisional games in the first 24 contests after having just two in the first seven weeks of last season.
