Toronto Maple Leafs News & Notes:

The Maple Leafs have ridden a four-game winning streak to the top of the Atlantic Division. Toronto is four points up on second-place Florida, although the Panthers have a game in hand. The Leafs are 7-3-0 in their last ten games and have a respectable 9-6-2 record away from home. Toronto won the previous meeting between these clubs on Sunday, with Morgan Reilly scoring the game-winner in overtime.

Philadelphia Flyers News & Notes:

The Flyers have lost two in a row and are only 3-6-1 in their last ten games, and things don’t get any easier with a hot Maple Leafs squad coming to town. Philadelphia played the Leafs tough on Sunday, picking up a point in the OT loss. The Flyers have been average at home this season, going 8-9-1, but will need to start grabbing some more home wins if they want to climb back into playoff contention.

Players To Watch:

Toronto Maple Leafs

Auston Matthews has been on fire since his return from injury with a pair of multi-point games (1g, 2a against Boston and then 2a versus the Flyers). The franchise center has battled injuries this season but is producing better than a point per game with 28 points (12g, 16a) in 26 games played. Matthews will bring his personal six-game point streak into the matchup with Philly tonight.

Philadelphia Flyers

22-year-old winger Tyson Foerster has goals in back-to-back games and three goals in his last four games to bring his goal total up to 12. Foerster is tied for second in goals on the team with dynamic rookie Matvei Michkov. Foerster is on pace to break his career high in goals (20) that he set a year ago, the Alliston, Ontario native is on pace for 25 goals this season as he looks to establish himself in the NHL.
