Saturday's tilt marks the sixth outdoor game for the Flyers and the first since they played the Boston Bruins in the 2021 NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe. They also played in the 2017 and 2019 Stadium Series matchups and the 2010 and 2012 Winter Classics.

The Flyers have been one of the NHL's biggest surprises this season following a disappointing 2022-23 campaign. They sit third in the Metropolitan Division with a 29-19-7 record.

The team has seemingly embraced the "Rocky" mindset under head coach John Tortorella, so their arrival for Saturday's matchup couldn't have been any more perfect.

As for the Devils, they arrived to the Stadium Series dressed in Sopranos-inspired outfits:
