Tonight’s opponents are the Broad Street Bullies themselves, tamer than the originals but you never let a good nickname go to waste. With the Flyers coming home after a successful road trip through Western Canada beating the Flames 5-2, Oilers 4-2, and Canucks 4-2, they’ll be rested after four days home in their own beds and wanting to give the Flyers fans a good show and not risk being pelted with bracelets or snowballs or D batteries. The Maple Leafs are also coming off three wins, 2-1 over the Flames in a shootout, 4-3 over the Penguins and 1-0 over the Oilers. The biggest news item today however, is the fact that Auston Matthews will not play. ### Toronto Maple Leafs at Philadelphia Flyers 7:00PM - Wells Fargo Center TV: TSN4 (BLACKOUT on NHL.tv in Ontario), TVA Sports, NBCSN Radio: TSN1050 / Sportsnet590 SBN: Broad Street Hockey The Maple Leafs have been winning games, but many have been questioning how they’ve been winning. They’ve been outplayed or the players have been misused, or the Leafs haven’t been playing all out for the entire game, but somehow they’ve won - be it by puck luck or a surprising backup goalie performance. The Maple Leafs will be working with a different line up than usual tonight, as Auston Matthews may miss another game so Patrick Marleau is back in his role as centre. Nikita Soshnikov is out on IR, so Josh Leivo will play tonight, and Kasperi Kapanen has been recalled from the Marlies. Is he a possibility to suit up? ### Toronto Maple Leafs Zach Hyman - Patrick Marleau - Connor Brown Leo Komarov - Nazem Kadri - William Nylander James van Riemsdyk - Tyler Bozak - Mitchell Marner Matt Martin - Dominic Moore - Josh Leivo Morgan Rielly - Ron Hainsey Jake Gardiner - Nikita Zaitsev Andreas Borgman - Roman Polak Frederik Andersen Curtis McElhinney ### Philadelphia Flyers Claude Giroux- Sean Couturier Wayne Simmonds Michael Raffl - Valtteri Filppula- Jakub Voracek Dale Weise - Nolan Patrick - Travis Konecny Taylor Leier - Scott Laughton - Jordan Weal Ivan Provorov - Andrew MacDonald Shayne Gostisbehere - Robert Hagg Travis Sanheim - Mark Alt Brian Elliott Brian Boucher ### Numbers Preview | Maple Leafs | Team | Devils | | --------------------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------- | | 265GF - 226GA - +29 | Goal Differential | 238GF - 234GA - +4 | | 24.4% - 2nd overall | Power Play | 21.7 - 10th overall | | 81.3% - 12th overall | Penalty Kill | 81.9% - 7th overall | | James van Riemsdyk - 36 | Most Goals | Taylor Hall - 39 | | Mitch Marner - 47 | Most Assists | Taylor Hall - 54 | | Mitch Marner - 69 | Most Points | Taylor Hall - 93 | | Matt Martin - 50 | Most PM | Miles Wood - 84 | | Jake Gardiner - 22:33/G | TOI Leader | Sami Vatanen - 22:42 | | Frederik Andersen - .917sv% | Starting Goalie | Keith Kincaid - .911sv% | hey should be fine without Matthews if everyone one else picks up their games. While the Leafs are 5-0 without Auston in the line up, it’s no reason to take that fact for granted. Can the Leafs win four in a row, and can they get out of the play 40 minutes a game funk they’re currently in? Well, there’s no better team to challenge them into performing better than the Flyers.
