So far in this young NHL season, the Philadelphia Flyers are perfect, with six points from three games. They don't appear to be missing Mike Richards or Jeff Carter at all, though the former player will likely be out to make them regret their decision to trade him on Saturday night. Richards returns to Philadelphia with the Los Angeles Kings to take on the Flyers, as the Kings play their second game since returning from Europe.

Mike Richards returns to Philadelphia for the first time as the Kings take on the Flyers
Though Richards will likely get most of the pre-game media attention, the really story for the Kings thus far has been the play of Anze Kopitar. The young star has returned full strength from a knee injury and was far and away the Kings' best player in their first two games. His counterpart on the other end of the ice is Claude Giroux, who has five points and is simply playing out of his mind at the moment.
Game Date/Time: Saturday, October 15, 7:00 P.M. ET
Venue: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
TV: FSN West (Kings Local - LA), CSN Philadelphia (Flyers local - Philadelphia)
Odds: Kings +135 to win, Flyers -135 to win, Flyers favored by 1 1/2 goals.
