Game 34: Flyers @ Maple Leafs
John Tortorella's Philadelphia Flyers (11-15-7) are in Ontario on Thursday to take on Sheldon Keefe's Toronto Maple Leafs (20-7-6). Game time at Scotiabank Arena is 2:00 p.m. ET.
The Flyers are coming off a 5-3 home win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday evening. Travis Konecny (shorthanded and five-on-five) and Owen Tippett (five-on-five and empty net) scored two goals apiece while Morgan Frost (5-on-5) tallied once. Carter Hart turned back 30 of 33 shots to earn the win in goal.
Toronto enters this game coming off a 4-1 home win against three-time defending Eastern Conference champion Tampa Bay Lightning. The Leafs held the Bolts to a mere 19 shots on goal for the game, of which Matt Murray stopped 18. William Nylander (1g, 1a), Michael Bunting, and Auston Matthews (PPG) scored for Toronto.
The Flyers enter this game in the red in five-on-five scoring differential. Philly has scored 54 goals at 5-on-5 manpower but they've allowed 64 to date. By comparison, the Leafs are one of the NHL's most potent teams at 5-on-5, scoring 70 goals and allowing just 47.
