PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Flyers fans excited for the Matvei Michkov era will have to stay up after dark to see his NHL debut.

The Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday announced its 2024-25 regular-season schedule, which opens with a four-game West Coast trip.

Philadelphia begins the season against Rick Tocchet 's Canucks in Vancouver on Oct. 11, then head to Calgary, Edmonton and Seattle. All four games begin at 10 p.m. ET.

The Flyers then host the Canucks in their home opener on Oct. 19. It's the third time in four years the Flyers will face the Canucks in their home opener.

Jan. 11 is a game Flyers fans will circle when the host Anaheim Ducks at Wells Fargo Center — it will be Cutter Gauthier's first game in Philadelphia since he refused to play for the orange and black and was traded to Anaheim.

Nov. 23 will be another fun game on the schedule when the Flyers host the Chicago Blackhawks. Fans can get to see Blackhawks young superstar Connor Bedard go head-to-head with Michkov. Bedard was drafted No. 1 overall in 2023; Michkov No. 7.
