Historical Context

The NHL expanded from six to twelve teams in 1967, marking the end of the Original Six era. This expansion included the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils, driven by the need for a national television contract and competition from rival leagues. The Flyers won two Stanley Cups in 1974 and 1975, establishing a fierce rivalry with the Devils that continues to shape the league's dynamics today.
