GDT: Maple Leafs at Flyers (7 p.m., TSN)
Share

The Leafs have so far been able to stop losing streaks before they start and look to do exactly that tonight with a bounce back win in Philadelphia.

Saturday’s loss was a tough one. The Leafs were far from their best but really should’ve taken a point out of it after fighting back in the third, only to foul it up with seconds left in regulation. Randy Carlyle took on some of the blame for not taking a timeout, but that’s kind of a 20/20 hindsight explanation. If Scrivens holds onto the rebound, or if Gunnarsson or Kostka prevent the Senator from skating unabated to the puck, we’re thinking nothing of that defensive zone faceoff.

The Leafs killed the Flyers last time out, but you get the sense Philadelphia has started to figure it out as of late. They’ve won 3 of 4, have been scoring a ton of goals (as they always do), and now Scott Hartnell is back from injury.

No lineup changes are expected for the Leafs.

    Carlyle just said Mike Brown has a lower body injury. Would not elaborate on anything else past that. #Leafs

    Beyond the goals, Carlyle was impressed with the “urgency and skating” from Grabovski tonight, who scored his third in four games.

    Grabbo is starting to FLY out there at times.   Open ice and Grabbo were meant to be together.

    After the 4 minute minor we are still leTtinG our breath out Yushki

    Im thrilled by this win, as much as I was disappointed about the last second loss to Sens

    They overcame a team that was getting on a roll and somE shoddy officiating

    This was huge. A loss tonite and and confidence would have been sagging.

    I still find it hard to believe we are doing so well with the number of marlies that have been elevated.

    Not sure how solid they are, but they needed this win even more than we did.  We wanted it more though, I think.
      I think their defence is lacking.  Not sure I want to deal one of ours for one of their forwards though.

    Rags still have 3 games in hand on us.  Need them to lose a few more.
