How has Tomas Hertl done in his career against the Philadelphia Flyers?

Everyone loves Tomas Hertl of the Vegas Golden Knights. He has a lovable, fun personality that makes him one-of-a-kind. He's also known for memorable quotes that date back to the San Jose Sharks days.

You know someone is likable when they're making friends with senior citizens at the local water aerobics class. He's been making friends since he was a rookie, building a relatable persona to the public. That has bled over to the Las Vegas community, who've embraced him despite being a former Shark.

However, the Philadelphia Flyers aren't big on the "fun must be always" mantra. In fact, the city's known for throwing snowballs at Santa Claus during an Eagles game. How crazy must you be to throw snowballs at a beloved figure of Christmas?

Still, that's who the 6'3" forward will face on Monday. It stands with good reason that the Flyers will challenge Hertl's happy-go-lucky persona. After all, they've caused trouble for the Golden Knights, where Vegas has an all-time 6-5-1 record against them. Sure, they might not look like a playoff team so far with 20 points. But don't expect a pushover match in Philadelphia.

So let's focus on the Prague native and see how he's done against the Flyers. How does his career numbers look against the team from the "City of Brotherly Love?" Has he stood out or has he not been "fun must be always?" Here's a look at Hertl's career numbers against the Broad Street Bullies.

Ironically, he's scored only two power play goals against the Philadelphia Flyers. One came on October 9, 2018, in Philadelphia while the other came at the SAP Center on December 29, 2022. Those numbers are surprising given the 31-year-old has been successful on the power play (six goals on the man advantage this season).

His most productive performances came with three points, happening twice. The more recent instance was that December 29th date, where he scored two overall goals and added an assists. The other was a hat trick on January 8, 2022 at Philadelphia, where he single-handedly defeated the Flyers, 3-2.
