WATCH Flyers vs. Stars Live Stream Online: NHL Top Division Teams 2015, Playoff Updates

Hockey's back for the official 2015-2016 NHL season, so get ready, MstarsNews readers!

The Philadelphia Flyers battle it out on the ice against the Dallas Stars in Week 9 of the regular season on Friday, December 11 at 8:30 p.m. EST from the American Airlines Arena in Texas. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Friday evening hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now heading into mid-season, Dallas still maintains an impressive top spot in Joe McDonald's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com, while Philly lags only a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Stars (3): "The Stars went 1-0-2 last week with a win over the Canucks, a 2-1 OT loss to the Oilers and a 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames. But that's only a minor hiccup for the high-flying Stars."

Record: 21-5-2 (1st in Central Division).

Flyers (11): "Before Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets, the Flyers had won four straight games. Maybe it has something to do with the newest installment of the Rocky movies, "Creed," being released, but Philadelphia is playing inspired hockey of late."

Record: 12-11-6 (6th in Metropolitan Division).

Tonight's game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels TCNP and FSSW.
