John Tortorella will face the Boston Bruins, the Buffalo Sabres, the Washington Capitals, and the New York Islanders in his first preseason as Flyers head coach. The Flyers on Tuesday released their six-game preseason schedule, which will begin Sept. 24 with a home game against the Bruins.

The Flyers will play the Bruins and Islanders at home and away, and the Capitals and Sabres once each. The slate also features an away back-to-back, one game at TD Garden against the Bruins on Oct. 1 and the other at UBS Arena against the Islanders on Oct. 2.

The full preseason schedule:

  1. Boston, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m., Wells Fargo Center

  2. At Buffalo, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m., HBSC Arena

  3. Washington, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m., Wells Fargo Center

  4. At Boston, Oct. 1 at 1 p.m., TD Garden

  5. At New York Islanders, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m., UBS Arena

  6. New York Islanders, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m., Wells Fargo Center

Last season, the Flyers went 1-2 against the Bruins, 0-3 against the Sabres, 2-2 against the Capitals, and 1-3 against the Islanders. Both the Bruins (51-26-5) and the Capitals (44-26-12) made the playoffs with sixth- and eighth-place finishes, respectively, in the Eastern Conference. The Islanders (37-35-10) finished ninth in the conference, and the Sabres (32-39-11) placed 11th. The Flyers (25-46-11) were 15th.

Like the Flyers, both the Islanders and the Bruins will be playing under new coaches. The Islanders fired Barry Trotz and promoted Lane Lambert, one of his assistants. Lambert is a first-time head coach. The Bruins fired Bruce Cassidy and replaced him with former Flyer Jim Montgomery, most recently an assistant coach with the St. Louis Blues and formerly the head coach of the Dallas Stars.
