Tue Mar 04 23:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Flyers Host Flames in Key Matchup: Return of Familiar Faces and a Battle for Points

**PHILADELPHIA, PA** – The Philadelphia Flyers (27-26-8) look to extend their five-game point streak when they host the Calgary Flames (28-23-9) on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. EST at the Wells Fargo Center. The game will be broadcast on NBCSP and 93.3 WMMR.

This matchup marks the second and final meeting between the two teams this season. The Flames won the first encounter 6-3 in October. Tuesday’s game holds extra significance as four players who were traded between the teams on January 30th will face their former clubs for the first time.

Former Flyers Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost suit up for the Flames, while Jakob Pelletier and Andrei Kuzmenko join the Flyers’ roster. Kuzmenko, in particular, has made an immediate impact with three points in five games for Philadelphia. Pelletier has contributed an assist in his four games with the Flyers. Meanwhile, Farabee and Frost have had a less prolific start in Calgary, hampered recently by a team-wide scoring slump.

The Flyers may have a fatigue advantage, as Calgary is in the midst of a grueling six-game road trip, playing their fifth game in eight nights. Philadelphia, conversely, starts a seven-game homestand. While the Flyers’ recent success has been fueled by strong puck pressure and transition game, the Flames, despite their current struggles, have shown resilience and can be dangerous when playing as a cohesive unit.

Goalie Ivan Fedotov will likely start for the Flyers after a strong performance in their last game, while Calgary may choose between rookie standout Dustin Wolf and Dan Vladar. Special teams will also play a crucial role, with the Flyers boasting a strong recent penalty kill and the Flames struggling defensively but showing improvement lately. The game promises a compelling battle between two teams fighting for playoff positioning.
