Flyers Preseason Hockey Continues Tonight At PPL Center

Written by: Tony Androckitis, Twitter/Facebook

It's been 163 days since there was hockey being played in the PPL Center in downtown Allentown, Pa but tonight it will play home to an NHL preseason contest between the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils - the 2nd NHL preseason game the Lehigh Valley Phantoms' home rink will host and one of only two AHL venues that will host an NHL exhibition game this fall.

This afternoon, the Philadelphia Flyers released their roster for tonight's game at 7:05 p.m. ET. It features highly touted forward prospect Travis Konecny and familiar faces Anthony Stolarz, Taylor Leier, Chris Conner and Colin McDiald among other potential members of the Phantoms this upcoming season.
