|
| | | TORONTO: LAST SEASON: 38-6-8, 84 points, finished 12th in the East and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Randy Carlyle, fifth season with the Leafs, 343-244-77.
ADDED: RW Matt Frattin, C Leo Komarov, D Roman Polak, D Stephane Robidas, C Mike Santorelli.
LOST: C Dave Bolland, D Tim Gleason, D Carl Gunnerson, C Jay McClement, RW Nikolai Kulemin, LW Mason Raymond.
PLAYER TO WATCH: David Clarkson. The right winger's first season with his boyhood team was one he'd rather forget. Clarkson had with 11 points (five goals and six assists) in 60 games with a minus-14 rating after agreeing to a seven-year, $36.75 million deal with Toronto.
OUTLOOK: The hirings of Brendan Shanahan as team president, Kyle Dubas as the assistant general manager and the added emphasis of analytics seem to indicate a new day for the Leafs. But much of the team that lost 12 of their final 14 games last season has returned. Coupled with the fact that the Leafs are in a division with 2013-14 playoff teams in Boston, Tampa Bay, Montreal and Detroit, it's hard to envision a scenario in which Toronto shows enough improvement to contend for a postseason berth in 2014-15. | | PHILADELPHIA: LAST SEASON: 42-30-10, 94 points. Finished 3rd in Metropolitan Division. Sixth in Eastern Conference. Lost to New York Rangers in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Craig Berube, 2nd season with Flyers (42-27-10); 2nd overall in NHL.
ADDED: C R.J. Umberger, LW Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, D Michael Del Zotto
LOST: LW Scott Hartnell, RW Steve Downie, LW Tye McGinn, C Kris Newbury, D Erik Gustafsson, D Bruno Gervais
PLAYER TO WATCH: Flyers center Claude Giroux. Back earlier than expected from an unspecified lower-body injury, Giroux needs to be in top form if the Flyers expect to play deep into the postseason. Giroux was selected last season as a Hart Trophy finalist, the league's MVP award. He matched a career high with 28 goals and finished third in the NHL scoring race (86 points).
OUTLOOK: The Flyers need Steve Mason to play again like a true No. 1 goalie and for Giroux to play like an MVP candidate for the Flyers to have a shot at ending their Stanley Cup drought. The Flyers are 0 for the Cup since they won consecutive Cups in 1974 and 1975 and seemed poised to build a dynasty. Only the Toronto Maple Leafs (1966-67) have suffered longer than any other team that was won at least one Stanley Cup. |

*Maple Leafs-Flyers Preview* ============================
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer
Toronto (22-24-4) at Philadelphia (21-22-7), 7:00 p.m. EDT
It's gotten to the point where it might be best for the Toronto Maple Leafs to go on the road for a while.
The problem - or one of them anyway - is that's where most of the damage has been done on their meltdown, and their next opponent is playing some of its best hockey of the season.
The Philadelphia Flyers try for a season-best fourth straight win Saturday night as the Maple Leafs embark on a three-game road trip with an eight-game skid weighing them down.
The losing streak is Toronto's longest since last season's fallout from March 16-29, but the Maple Leafs haven't dropped nine straight since 1985-86. They've also dropped eight straight on the road, and another would be their longest such single-season skid since also losing nine in the 1996-97 season.
"We're finding ways not to win," said interim coach Peter Horachek, whose team is 1-10-1 in January. "We've got to find ways to win now."
It very clearly begins with scoring. Toronto (22-24-4) has been limited to seven goals on the road skid as well as on its overall 0-7-1 stretch, going 2 for 26 (7.7 percent) on the power play. Six of the eight losses have come by more than a goal.
The Maple Leafs blew a third-period lead for the second straight game Thursday in particularly ugly fashion, falling 3-1 to Arizona. Jonathan Bernier allowed the fastest short-handed goal in NHL history to begin a period on a flip from nearly the opposite blue line, drawing the ire of the home crowd five seconds into the third.
"It's tough to stay in, especially when I thought I was playing pretty good and the fans get on you," Bernier said. "It gets frustrating, but I've got to be stronger mentally and stay in it."
He didn't have much help, facing 45 shots and losing his sixth straight start. He also allowed every goal in a 7-4 loss Dec. 20 to the Flyers, seeing his goals-against average rise to 4.78 against them - his highest versus any team - with a 2-3-0 career record.
Philadelphia (21-22-7) has won three straight for the fourth time this season, with all three coming to begin a five-game homestand.
Chris VandeVelde scored for the fourth time in five games in Thursday's 5-2 victory over Winnipeg. Wayne Simmonds had a goal and an assist to give him goals in consecutive contests after an eight-game drought.
Steve Mason continued to shine with 36 saves, going 4-0-0 with a 1.43 goals-against average in his last five appearances. He didn't face the Maple Leafs in the first meeting, but his 3.64 GAA in seven starts against them is his worst versus any opponent.
The win over the Jets was his second game back and first start after sitting out six games due to a right knee injury.
"The injury hasn't been a problem, which is great," Mason said. "I thought my game felt sharper than (Tuesday's 4-3 win over Arizona), which is obviously a positive sign as well."
The December meeting featured two goals and two assists from Claude Giroux, who has seven points in the Flyers' consecutive wins in the series.
Toronto points leader Phil Kessel had two assists in the first matchup and scored his first goal in eight games Thursday, but he's been limited to one assist in his last eight road games.
