A month by month breakdown of the Philadelphia Flyers schedule
January
The season kicks off as the Flyers open against the Penguins for a set of two games in three days. They will get two days off before playing their first back to back of the season. That will be against the Buffalo Sabres.
January 13th & 15th: Pittsburgh Penguins
January 18th & 19th: Buffalo Sabres
It’s a quick turnaround as they only have one day off before taking on Boston for a two games in three day split. They will have another two days off following that. It’ll be the New Jersey Devils before they then meet the team that knocked them out of the playoffs, the Islanders, for a back to back to end the first month.
January 21st & 23rd: Boston Bruins
January 26th & 28th: New Jersey Devils
January 30th & 31st: New York Islanders
So the first month starts off relatively easy with 10 games in 19 days. It begins to ramp up after that.
February
The Flyers will meet Boston for the third and fourth time after two days off to start the month. After a day off, they will meet up with Washington for the first time. It’s then another matchup with the Devils. Each of these sets of games are two in three days, followed by a day off in between.
February 3rd & 5th: Boston Bruins
February 7th & 9th: Washington Capitals
February 11th & 13th: New Jersey Devils
The Flyers will finally see the New York Rangers for the first time, over a month into the season. After a two day break, it’ll be one more game against Boston and then another against the Rangers. They will end the month facing the Sabres.
February 16th & 18th: New York Rangers
February 21st: Boston Bruins
February 24th: New York Rangers
February 26th & 28th: Buffalo Sabres
This is the only month that the Flyers do not have to deal with a back to back.
