The pre-season clash between the New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia Flyers featured intense action, highlighted by two fights between Samuel Laberge and Sawyer Boulton. The first fight was particularly alarming, but Boulton, son of former Devil Eric Boulton, returned to the ice after a brief exit.

In the second period, the two players fought again, with Laberge falling to the ice this time. As the Devils prepare for their upcoming NHL Global Series game in Prague against the Buffalo Sabres, the roster mainly consists of players from the AHL Utica Comets.
