"I'm thrilled that the Flyers have been chosen to participate in this special event, and I'm excited to join thousands of other Flyers fans who will be driving up the New Jersey Turnpike to represent the Orange and Black with pride at MetLife Stadium next year," said Dan Hilferty, Chairman and CEO of Comcast Spectacor and Governor of the Philadelphia Flyers. "Outdoor games are a great way for our fans to come together to not only cheer on our team, but take part in a unique, memorable experience, as well."
"We are thrilled to see the Flyers get the opportunity to participate in the 2024 NHL Stadium Series at MetLife Stadium next February," said Keith Jones, President of Hockey Operations. "This truly will be a unique event to have four division rivalry teams that will bring their respective longtime histories and fan bases to one venue. After covering these premier NHL outdoor events for the last 13 years as a TV analyst, I am looking forward to soaking in Feb. 17 as a member of the Flyers Hockey Operations staff and seeing the team take on the Devils."
The event will mark the Flyers sixth NHL outdoor game - the most played among the four franchises - and their third Stadium Series event. Philadelphia's other outdoor games include the 2010 NHL Winter Classic against Boston at Fenway Park, the 2012 NHL Winter Classic against the N.Y. Rangers at Citizens Bank Park, the 2017 NHL Stadium Series against Pittsburgh at Heinz Field, the 2019 NHL Stadium Series against Pittsburgh at Lincoln Financial Field and the 2021 NHL Outdoors against the Bruins at Lake Tahoe.
The Flyers hold a nine-point advantage over the Devils in 264 regular-season games played (PHI: 124-109-31, 279 pts.; NJD: 122-116-26, 270 pts.). The Flyers and Devils have split their six Stanley Cup Playoffs matchups, with New Jersey winning their most recent meeting in the 2012 Eastern Conference Semifinals.
