Three of the Flyers’ four wins during their current streak have come against fellow cellar-dwellers in San Jose, Anaheim, and Arizona, but they gave the Leafs a good run for their money before Christmas (a 4-3 Leafs win) and did the same against Carolina (6-5 loss) before their streak started against the Sharks on December 29. They will also have the advantage of two days’ rest while Leafs traveled to Pennsylvania following their 4-1 win over Detroit last night.
The Leafs are an impressive 4-0-1 this season in back-to-back situations, including wins over Washington, Carolina, and Pittsburgh.
