The Philadelphia Flyers became the latest team to extend Anaheim's losing skid on Tuesday, whipping the Ducks up and down the pond in a 5-2 victory. Philly will try to build on the momentum of five wins in seven games when the Toronto Maple Leafs appear in Wells Fargo Center on Thursday evening at 7 p.m. EST.
The Flyers' four-game home stand is off to a flying start, but the Maple Leafs should offer stiff resistance compared to the diminished Ducks. The Maple Leafs have gone since Christmas without losing a contest in regulation, most recently beating the National Hockey League's defending champion Florida Panthers 4-1 in a fine performance by netminder Joseph Woll. Toronto remains stacked in the same Eastern Conference logjam that the Flyers are a few spare losses away from rejoining in January.
Flyers forward Trevor Zegras is the toast of Philly after scoring twice against his former team on Tuesday night. The bad news is that two key skaters, Bobby Brink and Jamie Drysdale, left the contest injured.

Philadelphia Flyers vs Toronto Maple Leafs Predictions and Picks
NHL gamblers may anticipate a high-scoring scrap between a lively Flyers team and the improving Maple Leafs. But with many injuries on the ledger for both clubs, it's more likely that only one squad will post a solid goal total on Thursday. Whichever club falls behind will be subject to desperation as mismatched lines grow confused, letting tired passes dribble away. The only question is which team that will be.
Both of the Flyers' new injuries occurred via dicey plays. Brink was smacked hard by Dakota Mermis of the Ducks before leaving the ice, prompting a fight between Mermis and Philly forward Noah Cates. Also, as told by Hunter Crowther of Daily Faceoff, "Ducks forward Ross Johnston was ejected after delivering a hit on Flyers' defenseman Jamie Drysdale … nowhere near the puck. Johnston was given a five-minute major for interference and a game misconduct … (Drysdale) was later confirmed to not be returning."
Toronto still misses William Nylander, but the Maple Leafs have had time to adjust to their injury woes, while the Flyers have to whittle out their lineup again. Count on the Maple Leafs to cover the puck line.
