Philadelphia @ San Jose preview

Last Meeting ( Nov 3, 2018 ) Philadelphia 3, San Jose 4

The Philadelphia Flyers turn the page on a poor start to their season-high six-game road trip as they visit the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. Philadelphia's four-game winning streak ended emphatically 6-1 against San Jose on Saturday in its first game after the Christmas break and it faces a quick turnaround down the California coast.

The Flyers are 10-5-0 in their last 15 games and in position to compete for an Eastern Conference playoff berth. Anaheim came out of its Christmas break in fine form by posting a 4-3 victory over Vegas on Friday after a 1-3-0 road trip started with a loss at Philadelphia. "We stuck to our game plan,'' Ducks left winger Max Comtois told reporters after scoring his fourth goal of the season. "Every guy on the team, wherever we were going (over the break), we were excited to come back here and play the first game after Christmas. We did some really good things tonight and we have to keep building on that." Philadelphia has won three straight meetings after a 4-1 victory Dec. 17 in its first home game since Oskar Lindblom was diagnosed with cancer.

ABOUT THE FLYERS (21-12-5): Travis Konecny recorded his team-high 34th point on Saturday by assisting on Ivan Provorov's ninth goal of the season. James van Riemsdyk (team-high 12 goals) was kept off the scoresheet against San Jose after recording four goals and two assists in his previous three games. Carter Hart allowed a career high in goals Saturday after permitting one in each of his last three starts and is expected to yield the net Sunday to Brian Elliott, who is 3-8-3 with an .880 save percentage against Anaheim.

ABOUT THE DUCKS (16-18-4): Jakob Silfverberg and captain Ryan Getzlaf returned Friday after missing games because of illness with Silfverberg recording his team-leading 26th point and Getzlaf (25) going pointless for the fifth straight contest. Devin Shore, who scored Friday for his 100th career point, has been a healthy scratch 16 times while playing all three forward positions and on all four lines with coach Dallas Eakins telling reporters: "He's taken on each role with a lot of enthusiasm." Cam Fowler scored his eighth goal and added an assist Friday, giving him four of his 20 points in the last four games.
