Flyers, Scott Laughton and New Jersey Devils
Travel really hasn’t been that big of a deal either. In last week’s back-to-back, the Flyers played at the Rangers on Thursday and the Islanders on Friday. That’s only a 30-minute bus ride between venues and they lost both games by a combined score of 9-2.

Laughton scores the TKO victory, but you've got to hand it to Tsyplakov for standing in there and taking his medicine.
Tonight's game between the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Islanders at Wells Fargo Center promises to be a high-energy and potentially heated affair.
