An interesting matchup in the Eastern Conference of the NHL is set for Jan 10, as the in-form Tampa Bay Lightning travel to the Philadelphia Flyers.
Tama are the form team in the Eastern Conference at this stage, having recorded wins in each of their last eight games.
Meanwhile, the Flyers will have the home ice advantage, as they bid to get their campaign back on track following a defeat in midweek.
The Philadelphia Flyers will have the important home ice advantage this week, as they chase a return to winning form.
They were narrowly beaten in their latest outing after falling to an overtime loss at home to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday.
Despite the defeat, the Flyers still have a positive overall home record this season, going 12-5-4. Trevor Zegras has been a standout player, scoring a team-high 17 goals.

There have been few more eye-catching teams in the Eastern Conference over the last month than the Tampa Bay Lightning.
They come into the weekend after winning each of their last each, which leaves them sitting third in the Atlantic Division. A win on Saturday could send them to the top of the division.
Tampa recorded an excellent win earlier this week, with Brandon Hagel scoring in a 4-2 home win over the Colorado Avalanche. On the road, Tampa have also been consistent, winning 12 of their 19 games.
| TOTAL | Lightning | Flyers | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 129 | 62 | 59 | - |
| GOALS | 771 | 389 | 382 |
Tampa's recent run of form has been eye-catching, and they should have the quality required to stretch their winning run to nine games in the NHL on Saturday.
