LA Kings Projected Lineup vs. Philadelphia Flyers; First of Back-to-Back Games

January 29, 2022 By MayorsManor Staff


The Kings and Flyers have a rich history, which is rather interesting considering they play in two different conferences. It all started in Game 1 for the LA franchise, a 4-2 victory over Philadelphia on October 14, 1967 at the Long Beach Arena. A few months later the two teams rematched for the Forum grand opening, with the Flyers coming out on top 2-0 that night. A half century later, the Kings and Flyers met up again to open the 2017 season, LA’s 50th anniversary in the NHL, where LA posted their own 2-0 shutout victory.

Certainly many more events have happened through the years linking the two organizations, including a trade for fan favorite Dave ‘the Hammer’ Schultz back in 1976, in the hiring of Dean Lombardi as General Manager in 2006, and Mike Richards coming to LA in 2011. Other connections include Ron Hextall, Ian Laperriere, Justin Williams, Jeff Carter, Rick Tocchet, Simon Gagne, Sean Burke, Michal Handzus, Mike Stothers, plus a plethora of additional games and moments along the way too numerous to list.

As for today, the lineup is expected to look identical to Thursday’s game in New York – sans the goaltender. Jonathan Quick is next up in the rotation and he enters the game with impressive career numbers vs. the Flyers — headlined by an 11-3-1 record and a 1.79 goals-against average. Add in his .942 save percentage — the highest against any opponent he’s ever faced — and coach Todd McLellan is likely feeling a bit confident this morning.
