Tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET, the Phoenix Coyotes (2-2-0) and the Philadelphia Flyers (1-3-0) take the ice against one another live from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. The game can be live streamed here. Phoenix fans can hear all of the action on XTRA Sports 910 AM while Philadelphia fans can do the same on 97.5 FM the Fanatic.
This is the first of two meetings between the two teams and they're each looking to find their scoring touch in the young season, though Phoenix scored four goals in a 4-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings Thursday, while Philadelphia has scored just five times in its first four games.
Phoenix is playing in its second game in a row after Thursday night's victory in Detroit, and they were happy to respond with a good game in Hockey Town after an embarrassing loss led to captain Shane Doan conducting a players only meeting following a 6-1 shelling to the New York Islanders.
"To respond the way we did after two ugly ones is the way to go," said defenseman Michael Stone, who had the game-winning goal against the Red Wings, per NHL.com.
Doan, who has played with the Coyotes since their last season as the Winnipeg Jets in 1995-96, hasn't reached the score sheet yet this season through four games, but is the franchise's all-time leader in games played with 1,250 and second in goals scored with 331. Doan had 13 goals and 14 assists for 27 points in last year's shortened season.
The Flyers won 2-1 against the Florida Panthers at home Tuesday night in their first game under head coach Craig Berube following Peter Laviolette's firing on Monday, and look to continue their success tonight.
The Flyers started out 0-3-0 leading to the coaching change, and captain Claude Giroux has failed to register a point so far on the season after notching 48 points in 48 games last year with 13 goals and 35 assists.
"It feels like I'm not enjoying [the game] right now. You go back to the basics, start playing a little more physical," Giroux told CSNPhilly.com. "I don't know. I'm sure I will figure it out."
Radim Vrbata (three goals, one assist) and Martin Hanzal (one goal, three assists) lead the Coyotes with four points while Brayden Schenn (2-1) and Vincent Lecavalier (1-2) have three apiece to pace Philadelphia.
The Coyotes and Flyers both look to find their scoring touch when they clash at Wells Fargo Center tonight in Philadelphia.
