Game 69 Preview: Flyers vs. Maple Leafs
Philadelphia Flyers (34-26-8) will host the Toronto Maple Leafs (38-19-9) on Tuesday evening. Game time at the Wells Fargo Center is 7:00 p.m. EDT.
The game will be televised on NBCSP. The radio broadcast is on 97.5 The Fanatic with an online simulcast on
Flyers Radio 24/7.
This is the third and final game of the season series between the teams, and the second game in Philadelphia. On February 15 in Toronto, the Maple Leafs defeated the Flyers in overtime, 4-3. Last Thursday (March 14), the Maple Leafs came to Philadelphia and dealt the Flyers a 6-2 setback.

The Flyers, who are 4-5-1 in the last 10 games, have posted a 17-14-3 record at home to date. They are coming off a 6-5 road loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday. The Maple Leafs, 6-3-1 over the last 10 games, are 20-7-6 on the road. On Saturday, the Maple Leafs gained one point from a 5-4 (1-0) home shootout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Samuel Ersson will get the start in net for the Flyers. The Flyers had a lightly attended (10 players) morning skate. Sean Couturier, who skated as the "5th line" center with Denis Gurianov and Cam Atkinson flanking him at Monday's practice, took extra reps at the end of the Monday's practice (along with those two players). Also Olle Lycksell took PP2 reps on Monday and Noah Cates centered the ostensive fourth line, moving from left wing on Ryan Poehling's line with Garnet Hathaway. Defense pairs rotated several times at Monday's practice with Travis Sanheim (still battling a nagging injury) taking a maintenance half-day and leaving midway through practice.
Monday's practice line forward combinations and power play units are listed below. Starting lineups will be added to the gameday blog as a pregame update. Couturier, Gurianov and Atkinson also took extra skating at the end of the morning skate, which is another strong indicator that all three will be scratched in the game.
