Here are five things to watch for in the contest:

1. Fresh faces

It’s typical for young players to have good games and bad games, striving for consistency. Can Thomas Chabot, Max Lajoie, Brady Tkachuk, Alex Formenton and Colin White find a steady rhythm?

2. Looking for matchups

As expected, the opposition has exploited the Senators’ inexperienced blue-line through the first three games. Can some combination of Lajoie-Ceci, Chabot-Dylan DeMelo and Mark BorowieckiChris Wideman find a way to control play inside the Senators’ zone?

3. Yielding too many goals

Craig Anderson and Mike Condon have both been victim to bad goals in the early going, but they need to protect their inexperienced team by making big saves at big times. Anderson, who defeated Toronto 5-3 on Saturday, gets the start against Philadelphia.

4. Executing on the power play

The Senators could have made a game of it in Boston on Monday if they had converted on an extended 5-on-3 advantage in the third period. They haven’t scored on the power play since the season opener against Chicago.

5. Relishing home ice

The visit by the Flyers kicks off a five-game homestand for the Senators. A solid performance at Canadian Tire Centre could provide a necessary confidence boost for a Senators team that isn’t quite sure what it is just yet.
