The National Hockey League released its 56-game schedules for all 31 teams this afternoon. The Flyers will start with a Jan. 13 home game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the teams will rematch at the Wells Fargo Center two nights later. The Flyers will play a total of eight games apiece with the other seven teams in the Eastern Division (Penguins, Bruins, Sabres, Islanders, Rangers, Devils and Capitals). Also notable is the fact that Philadelphia will play a total of eight back-to-back games between Jan. 13 and May 8; far fewer than many anticipated.
