PREVIEW (10 AM, EST)

The Flyers will look to continue their recent run of success tonight when they take on the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Air Canada Centre. With the Flyers having won eight of their last 10 games, including a 6-2 win over Toronto at the Wachovia Centre, now is not the time to relax against a team that has won just two of its last 11 games.

The keys to the Flyers' recent success are easy to find. The club has scored first in 10 straight games and both the power play and penalty killing have come back to life in a big way since Dec. 23. The club is also fairly healthy and has gotten solid goaltending from waiver pickup Michael Leighton.

This much is certain: If Toronto is overly focused on seeking retribution against Dan Carcillo for showing them up in the last game, the Flyers will have the Leafs right where they want them.
