Kings play host to Flyers

By Helene Elliott

Jan. 3, 2009 12 AM PT

Time: 7:30.

On the air: TV: FS West. Radio: 1150.

Where: Staples Center.

VS. PHILADELPHIA

Records: Kings 15-16-6, Flyers 21-10-7.

Record vs. Flyers (2007-08): 0-0-1.

Update: Jonathan Quick is scheduled to make his seventh appearance and sixth straight start in goal for the Kings. They’ve scored only 12 goals to support him in his previous five starts, one reason his record is only 2-3 despite his .937 save percentage and 1.73 goals-against average. The Kings haven’t beaten the Flyers since Oct. 21, 2003 -- but the teams have played only twice since then.
