Flyers-Golden Knights Preview: After Hours

Tuesday night's game takes Flyers After Dark to a new level. With all 32 NHL teams in action on Tuesday night and staggered start times, the Flyers visit to face the defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights will be even later than usual.

It won't be an easy task for the Flyers, who face the undefeated Golden Knights to close out a two-game homestand.

Game time is 11 p.m.
