The Leafs last game was at home on January 5 against the Philadelphia Flyers, which Toronto won by a score of 3-2 in overtime. The Leafs have a record of 26-13-2 for a 0.659 Points %.

The Flyers have a record of 17-8-5 for 0.488 Points %

Them

Same as they were last time - not an easy out, they have good structure, produce offence well, but are extraordinarily easy to score against. If you make the mistake of thinking a bad record in the standings means a team is bad at everything, you'll be confused when the Flyers aren't.

They are adept at the comeback in that they don't quit trying and just fade away.

Us

Joe Woll has to fill those giant shoes of Dennis Hildeby, who played a stellar game against the Flyers, entering beast mode when needed.

Jake McCabe is out, meaning the defence pairs are realigned, and Nick Robertson sits and Ryan Reaves comes in.

The third line realignment is really interesting.

The Game

Continue the winning streak by not falling into any one-upmanship traps is the best plan. Parading to the box is not advised. Also, perhaps that 42% xG from the last game is a touch low? Maybe get the puck and keep it more often.
