It's not turning out to be a great season for Philadelphia. Frankly, there is no feeling that the Flyers will be able to break into the Wild Card this campaign. They have 39 points to their credit, they are only in 12th position in the overall Eastern Conference table. Results lately have been poor - three wins in the past ten matches. The day before, Philadelphia lost two games in a row, first 2:5 to Vegas, and then 2:3 to Toronto in overtime.

It's worth giving Toronto credit for this season. Of course, it's hard to guess what to expect from the Maple Leafs in the playoffs, but they're awesome in the regular season. They are second in the overall Eastern Conference standings with 54 points, just two behind the leading Washington. Recently, the Canadian club has picked up a great run - wins 3:1 and 2:1 over the Islanders, then 6:4 over Boston and the day before 3:2 in overtime over Philadelphia.

Just the day before, Toronto had already managed to formalize a victory over Philadelphia. The Maple Leafs took the game only in overtime, but they were still more dangerous and deserved the victory. At the same time, the Flyers are not particularly impressive on their own ice - they have only eight wins in 18 games. Only the Islanders have fewer wins in the East. The Canadian club is coming into this game with a streak of four consecutive victories, so we think they'll be able to please their fans again. We'll take the final victory for the visitors (including overtime and shootout).
