Flyers Suffer Preseason Loss as Couturier Returns, Atkinson Absent

The Philadelphia Flyers suffered a 6-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils in their preseason opener, with the team showing signs of nerves, rust, and little chemistry.

Top prospects Tyson Foerster and Emil Andrae had limited impact, and goaltender Cal Petersen made 19 saves on 24 shots. The Flyers will look to bounce back in their second preseason game against the New York Islanders.
