A bright spot in the midst of such an emotionally-charged trade is that Pelletier is not making this transition alone. Fellow trade acquisition Andrei Kuzmenko came to Philly in the same deal, and having a familiar face has helped both players settle in.

Looking to build upon a five-game point streak, John Tortorella's Philadelphia Flyers (27-26-8) return home on Tuesday to take on Ryan Huska's Calgary Flames (28-23-9).

Just over a month since combining on a notable trade, the Calgary Flames and host Philadelphia Flyers square off Tuesday. Philadelphia is 4-0-1 in its last five games as the team has begun to integrate Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier into its lineup.

The Philadelphia Flyers are buzzing. Since returning from the 4-Nations break, they’ve looked fast, confident, and—most importantly—fun.

Throughout the course of the 2024-25 season, the Flames have had superb goaltending thanks to the pair of Dustin Wolf and Dan Vladar but the duo's incredible play has been particualrly notable on this season-long road trip.
