Flyers-Devils Preview: Halfway Home

The seven-game homestand for the Flyers hits the halfway point on Sunday afternoon. So far, it has been an underwhelming display.

The Flyers have lost all three games on the homestand by a combined score of 14-5. And next up, they face the New Jersey Devils, who defeated them 5-0 in their last meeting on Jan. 29.

Game time is 1 p.m.

Matvei Michkov got another assist on Saturday to extend his points streak to three games. He also has points in six of the seven games since returning from the break.

Timo Meier has been one of the Devils leaders this season with 17 goals and 41 points on the season. With some key injuries coming into play, Meier will be leaned on for even more production.

Ivan Fedotov is expected to get the start for the Flyers. Fedotov's last game was a relief appearance on Tuesday night against Calgary, making 26 saves on 28 shots. He made 29 saves on 30 shots in a shootout win over Winnipeg in his last start.

Jacob Markstrom is expected to start for the Devils. Markstrom allowed six goals on 35 shots in a loss to Winnipeg on Friday. He has lost all three starts since returning from injury on March 2.
