Philadelphia, PA (My Sportsbook) - The Philadelphia Flyers seek their seventh consecutive victory tonight when they welcome the New Jersey Devils to First Union Center for an Atlantic Division affair.

Philadelphia hasn't lost since a 2-1 setback in Buffalo on October 22. That marked the club's lone defeat of the season, and its 9-1-2 start to the campaign is tied for the second-best through 12 games in franchise history.

The Flyers also carry a 5-0-1 home record into this evening's match, marking the sixth time they have began a campaign unbeaten in six games. The last such occurrence was in 1986-87 when Mike Keenan's crew started 8-0-0 at the Spectrum.

This year's edition of the Flyers is coming off Tuesday night's 2-1 overtime victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh. John LeClair scored his 300th goal in a Philly sweater with 3:04 remaining in OT to provide the heroics. Justin Williams also tallied, while Roman Cechmanek finished with 17 saves.

LeClair snapped a six-game goal-less drought and notched his team-leading eighth marker of the season. He became just the seventh player in team history to reach the 300 plateau.

Philadelphia, which has outscored opponents by a 24-9 margin during its current tear, will visit Washington on Saturday.

New Jersey, meanwhile, has lost two of its last three games after a 6-1 start to the campaign. On Tuesday the Devils dropped a 3-2 decision to the visiting Calgary Flames at the Meadowlands. Pat Burns' troops essentially didn't awake until the third period, as they managed a mere 13 shots in the first 40 minutes. They erupted with 19 unsuccessful attempts in the final frame, and lost by virtue of a Chris Drury goal 3:31 into the third.

Low-scoring defenseman Colin White and rookie Mike Danton provided the goals for New Jersey, while Martin Brodeur made 18 saves in the losing cause.

A concern has come about for the Devils, and it is star winger Patrik Elias, who has managed only four goals and an assist to this point. Elias spent some crucial minutes of Tuesday's tilt on the bench, and is admittedly missing former linemates Jason Arnott and Petr Sykora.

Elias' scoring problems haven't, however, hampered the Devils all too much, as they've utilized defense and goaltending to get off to the start they have.

Their 26 goals-for are the third-lowest total in the league, and the club's 3- for-49 mark on the power play is the NHL's most impotent.

The Devils make a short trek down the New Jersey Turnpike tonight and will head right home to start a three-game Meadowlands set Saturday against Edmonton.

Philadelphia went 3-1-1 against New Jersey last season, and the teams are 3-3-2 in the last eight meetings overall. The Devils are 2-1-1 in their last four trips to the First Union Center.
