PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs meet Thursday night and could be a little weary-legged after skating to shutout victories in New York and Detroit, respectively, on the road Wednesday.
Both teams are fighting for playoff spots in the crowded Eastern Conference standings and face interesting goaltending decisions after stellar performances from their No. 1 netminders.
Steve Mason turned aside 34 shots, including five apiece from Rick Nash and Derek Stepan, to earn his first shutout of the season in the 2-0 Flyers' win over the Rangers in Madison Square Garden.
