The Avalanche are rolling offensively, while the Flyers just snapped their winless start—now Philadelphia gets to find out whether one win can fix all its problems.
The Colorado Avalanche visit the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday at Xfinity Mobile Arena after defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-2 on Friday. Colorado holds a 5-2-1 record and has scored 36 goals in eight games, with Nathan MacKinnon and Artturi Lehkonen tied for the team lead with eight goals each. Philadelphia enters the matchup at 1-6-3 following its first win of the season, a 3-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

Blackwood holds an 11-3-2 career record against Philadelphia, while Vladar has posted a 3.88 goals-against average in six previous appearances against Colorado.
