Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins face off for the first time this season as both sides look to shake off their shambolic form in the Metropolitan Division.
Pittsburgh Penguins (11-10-1) have been in poor form winning twice and losing three of their previous five games. Second-last in the Metropolitan Division, the Penguins would be vying to change their fortunes when they host the Flyers who aren't far away on points from them with the home side also boasting of a game in hand.
The back-to-back contest against Sunday's hosts could determine the Philadelphia Flyers (11-10-2) season if they fail to win either of the encounters. Despite being a point ahead of their rivals, the Flyers have just one win in their previous five and their stumble in form could give other teams the perfect opportunity to leapfrog them.
