The Philadelphia Flyers today released their 2018-19 preseason schedule, according to general managerRon Hextall.

The Flyers will play an eight-game preseason slate again this year, doing so entirely against the New York Islanders, the New York Rangers and the Boston Bruins. The preseason will begin with four games in four days, the first three of which will be against the Islanders in three different venues - Sept. 16 at Nassau Coliseum, Sept. 17 at the Wells Fargo Center and Sept. 18 at Barclays Center.

After concluding that opening run with a visit to the New York Rangers on Sept. 19, the Flyers will host the Islanders on Sept. 21 at PPL Center in Allentown, the home of the Flyers' AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. It marks the fourth consecutive preseason that the Flyers are making a visit to the Lehigh Valley.

After the busy start, the Flyers will play three more contests, two of which are at home. They'll welcome in the Bruins on Sept. 24 and then the Rangers on Sept. 27 before concluding the preseason on Sept. 29 in Boston.
