Philadelphia holds that favorite status with a 3-8-4 record and 1.93 goals per game. Its clearest route is Calgary's goaltending, since Dustin Wolf has a 4.81 goals-against average and a .839 save percentage this season. The Flames' route is the offense that scored nine goals in its last two wins, over the Red Wings and Maple Leafs, and a goalie who can hold the Flyers' thin attack down.

Flyers vs Flames team news, injuries and projected lineups

Neither team has announced a starting goalie for November 8. The Flyers host Utah on Nov. 1 and Minnesota on Nov. 3 and visit the Rangers on Nov. 5, while the Flames play five games before Philadelphia arrives, so the lineups will shift before puck drop.

Flyers

Travis Konecny, last season's leading scorer, has missed 10 games with a lower-body injury, and Owen Tippett has missed six with an upper-body injury. Rasmus Ristolainen reinjured his left hand in his Oct. 24 return and was expected to miss about two weeks, which puts his return close to this game. Cam York came back from injured reserve on Oct. 27, and forward Nikita Grebenkin is out at least four months after back surgery.

In goal, Woll and Vladar have alternated closely. Before the Oct. 27 game, Vladar had a .900 save percentage and 3.15 goals-against average, and Woll had a .904 save percentage and 2.99 average. No starter has been named for Calgary.

Flames

Cooley is under evaluation for the lower-body injury he suffered in a collision with Colton Dach, and Flames coach Ryan Huska had no update on Oct. 29. Before leaving, he had a 4-3 record, a .914 save percentage and had won four straight starts. That leaves Wolf, who has won one of five starts, as Calgary's other established goalie, with Arsenii Sergeev in the AHL as depth.

Jonathan Huberdeau has missed the season so far with a hip injury, and Sam Honzek has been out since Oct. 10. Line combinations for November 8 are not set.

What could decide Flyers vs Flames?

Three issues could decide the game, starting with the Flames' crease.

Which goalie will Calgary use against the Flyers?

Cooley posted a 1.50 goals-against average and .955 save percentage during Calgary's four-game winning streak, while Wolf's numbers this season are well below that level. If Cooley is back, the Flames have the steadier goalie against an offense that has scored 1.93 goals per game. If Wolf starts, the Flyers face a more beatable goalie.

Can Philadelphia score without Konecny and Tippett?

The Flyers' top scorer and top goal scorer from last season are both out, and the team has 29 goals in 15 games. Matvei Michkov and Sean Couturier scored in the loss at Washington, so the offense has some production, but it needs more than one line to threaten a Calgary defense that has allowed 3.75 goals per game.

How much does Ristolainen's status change the game?

Ristolainen is a top-pair defenseman. If he is still out, Philadelphia leans on a defense that has allowed 51 goals in 15 games against a Flames team that scored four and five in its two home wins before the Edmonton shutout. If he returns, the Flyers can steady a back end that is already giving up more than three goals a game.

Philadelphia's route is to score early against a shaky Calgary crease and protect its goalie, whether Woll or Vladar starts. Calgary's route is to get Cooley back or a sharper Wolf and use home ice to pressure a depleted Flyers defense. The main uncertainty is which goalies start on Nov. 8.
