8 – Number of goalies the Flyers have used through 69 games this season, a new NHL record. That’s the same number the Capitals have used in their last 451 games (including playoffs), dating back to the start of the 2010-11 season.
Tonight’s starter for Philadelphia, Carter Hart, is one of just two of the 23 goalies drafted by the Flyers since 2001 to have appeared in more than one NHL game (Anthony Stolarz, one of The Eight and now a member of the Oilers organization, is the other).
