Flyers-Blues Preview: Closing Out November

Friday's game was a rarity for the Flyers. For just the fourth time in the last 11 games, the Flyers' result was determined in regulation. It was the second regulation win of the month for the Flyers, and just their fifth this season.

With wins in three of their last four games, the Flyers look to close out November on a high note, taking on the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night.

Game time is 7 p.m.
