The Flyers returned from the bye on Monday and picked up where they left off with a 3-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets. It's just the beginning of a very busy week for the Flyers, as they prepare to play their second of four games on Tuesday night.
The Flyers hit the road and face the New York Rangers, who make their return from the All-Star break.
