THIS DATE IN RED WINGS HISTORY

October 12, 1996 –The Red Wings defeat Buffalo, 6-1, in the Sabres’ first regular-season game at the Marine Midland Arena

PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

TONIGHT’S GAME
The Flyers visit the Detroit Red Wings tonight in their sixth game of the season and third on the road. The Flyers are 1-4 on the season
after a 2-1 setback to Phoenix last night at the Wells Fargo Center. This is the second half of the Flyers’ second set of back-to-back
games, and the second in as many weeks. After tonight’s game, they’ll return home to host Vancouver and Pittsburgh next Tuesday
and Thursday.

VS. DETROIT

This is the first of three games this season between the Flyers and Red Wings.

Sat., Oct. 12 –Flyers at Detroit, 7:00 PM
Wed., Dec. 4- Flyers at Detroit, 8:00 PM
Tues., Jan. 28 –Flyers vs. Detroit, 7:00 PM

After 46 years and 124 prior meetings, tonight marks the first game between these two clubs as membesr of the same conference. Detroit joined the Eastern Conference over the summer. Prior to that, the clubs had been in opposite conferences their entire existence since the 1967 expansion put Detroit in the East Division and the Flyers in the West Division. Detroit eventually became part of the Prince of Wales Conference and the Flyers part of the Clarence Campbell Conference, and then the two switched places as part of the 1981-82 realignment. The teams haven’t played each other more than twice in a season since 1992-93, when they met three times.

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
