The Toronto Maple Leafs (24-13-2) welcome the Philadelphia Flyers (17-18-4) to Scotiabank Arena on Sunday evening in what promises to be an intriguing Eastern Conference matchup.
The Maple Leafs enter the contest riding high after winning eight of their last twelve games, including an impressive back-to-back sweep against the New York Islanders.
Toronto's offensive firepower, led by William Nylander's 23 goals and Mitch Marner's team-leading 51 points, will face a struggling Flyers defense that ranks second-to-last in goals against average at 3.6.
The Flyers, concluding a challenging six-game road trip, look to bounce back from their recent 5-2 loss to Vegas, with Travis Konecny (43 points) continuing to be their offensive catalyst.
Both teams face significant lineup challenges, as Toronto will be without star center Auston Matthews, while Philadelphia's goaltending situation remains uncertain with starter Samuel Ersson listed as day-to-day.
As these Atlantic and Metropolitan division rivals prepare to face off, the contrast between Toronto's solid defensive record (2.7 goals against average) and Philadelphia's offensive capabilities (3.0 goals per game) sets the stage for what could be a compelling hockey contest.
