Flyers vs. Golden Knights Preview: Lucky Seven

It's been two weeks to forget for the Philadelphia Flyers. Their win against the Anaheim Ducks on Jan. 6 came at a cost with two players suffering injuries. That started a string of injuries that hasn't stopped since. Combine that with a schedule that features multiple teams on hot streaks and a barrage of self-inflicted mistakes, and you get a six-game losing streak that has hardly been competitive.

The Flyers are looking to avoid a seventh straight loss, but will need to defeat a team on a seven-game winning streak. The Vegas Golden Knights have vaulted to the top of the Pacific Division standings, and made a trade on Sunday to bolster the blue line.

Game time is at 8 p.m.
