This will mark the Flyers’ third Stadium Series appearance and sixth outdoor game appearance.

The Flyers’ last outdoor contest game took place on February 21st, 2021 against the Boston Bruins in a 7-3 loss as part of the NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe doubleheader that also featured the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche.

Philadelphia’s last Stadium Series appearance was on February 23rd, 2019 when they hosted the Pittsburgh Penguins at the Philadelphia Eagles’ Lincoln Financial Field, where a furious third period Flyers comeback was capped off by Claude Giroux’s overtime winner to give the home team a 4-3 victory in Wayne Simmonds’ final game as a Flyer.
