Rick Tocchet’s Philadelphia Flyers (7-5-1) are home on Saturday afternoon to play Travis Green’s Ottawa Senators (6-5-3). The Flyers won both games of a short road trip earlier this week: 5-4 (1-0) by shootout on Tuesday in Montreal and 3-1 in Nashville on Thursday.
Saturday’s match is the second in a three-game season series between the Flyers and Senators. On October 23, Ottawa dealt a 2-1 road loss to the Flyers. The season series concludes at XMA on February 5.
The Flyers have made several roster moves in recent days. Goaltender Samuel Ersson was activated from IR on Thursday and center Jacob Gaucher was loaned to the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms. On Friday, goalie Aleksei Kolosov was loaned to the Phantoms and veteran forward Carl Grundstrom was recalled to the NHL roster.
