Flyers-Senators Preview: Quick Trip North

In the spirit of late November, there will be plenty of time for home cooking for the Flyers for the rest of the month. Monday's game marked the first in a stretch of seven of nine games at home. One of the rare exceptions comes on Thursday night, as the Flyers make a quick trip north to face the Ottawa Senators.

The Flyers have started to turn a corner of late, with a 4-2-1 record in their last seven games. Ottawa is fresh off a 3-0 shutout win in Toronto on Tuesday and has won back-to-back games.

Game time is 7 p.m.
