The Arizona Coyotes will attempt to avoid setting an NHL record with 12 straight losses to start a season when they play the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center on Monday.

The Coyotes tied the 1943-44 New York Rangers for the worst start when they allowed two third-period power-play goals in a 4-3 loss at the New Jersey Devils on Saturday.

Goaltender Scott Wedgewood, acquired by the Coyotes in a trade with the Devils on Saturday for a fifth-round pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, will start his first game for his new team.

The Flyers ended a two-game losing streak (0-2-0) with a 4-2 win at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Players to watch

Wedgewood, 25, has allowed five goals in four NHL starts, all of which came during the 2015-16 season.

Forward Claude Giroux is tied for second on the Flyers with six goals. They are 5-0-0 when he scores.

They said it

"I don't know much about Scott, but he looked good in the warm-ups.

He's a pretty technical guy, which is nice. I told him to just have fun with it." -- Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet on goaltender Scott Wedgewood

"We can't take them lightly. They're a better team than what their record actually shows. They have some pretty good skills up front, some pretty good young legs that probably skate pretty well. We'll have to be ready to skate with them tonight." -- Flyers center Sean Couturier on the Coyotes
