On the second night of a back-to-back, the Toronto Maple Leafs head from Detroit to Philadelphia to take on the Flyers.
Philadelphia, also on the second night of a back-to-back after a game against the New York Rangers, will look to get a win against an increasingly tough Toronto team.
Toronto Maple Leafs
Toronto has really started off 2017 well. The team has won six of its first nine games and has shown improvement on both sides of the ice.
The offense has been good all year but the defense has really stepped up over the last few weeks.
The Leafs currently sit 12th in the league in goals against, a considerable improvement over earlier in the year, and have given up 131 goals this year.

Offensively, the team ranks in the top 10 in goals scored, with 140. A lot of thanks for that can be given to the rookies that have played fantastic hockey.
Toronto dresses six rookies, all of whom rank in the top 20 in points for a rookie in the NHL.
Mitch Marner leads the way with 39 points, including 11 goals and 28 assists. Marner has been wonderful, as has his pal Austom Matthews.
Matthews, 2016’s #1 overall draft pick, has really started to figure out the NHL game.
He has 22 goals this season, along with 16 assists. Over his last five games, he has cooled off slightly, but still has contributed a goal and an assist.
Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers kicked the season off with a very hot start, an impressive feat considering how tough the Metropolitan Division is this year.
Unfortunately for Philly fans, the Flyers have slipped and are struggling to stay relevant at this point.
Sitting 5th in the Metropolitan, the Flyers have lost 10 out of their last 13 games, and are in desperate need of some wins in order to keep in the playoff race.
So where has it all gone wrong? Frankly, it’s been the defense. The Flyers have given up the 3rd most goals in the league this season with 154. That’s an average of 3.21 goals against per game.

As good as the offense can be, it can’t keep up with teams that are scoring at that rate against the defense.
The offense has been solid, and it’s been Wayne Simmonds taking the reins. He has 19 goals and 17 assists on the year, including two goals and two assists over his last five games.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Toronto is 5-0 ATS in the last five games on the road
- Philadelphia is 3-10 SU in the last 13 games
Free Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Philadelphia Flyers NHL Hockey Prediction:
With both teams on a back-to-back, I like Toronto to have the advantage because of how good the offense has been. Toronto should get the W on the road.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Toronto ML
I’ve been really impressed with the Maple Leafs recently. The fast-paced offense has led to a lot of recent wins and that Philly defense will struggle against it. The Toronto money line is a good choice here.
