The Philadelphia Flyers have won just one of their four home games so far this season. They'll be looking to improve on that mark on Monday night when they play host to the Toronto Maple Leafs on the NHL odds board.
Philly is coming off back-to-back home losses to the Washington Capitals (5-2) on Thursday and the St. Louis Blues (4-2) on Saturday. Flyers netminder Ilya Bryzgalov allowed all four goals on 25 shots against the Blues, raising his goals-against average to 2.85 and dropping his save percentage to .895 on the season.
Daniel Briere and Matt Carle had the goals for Philadelphia on Saturday, and Chris Pronger picked up his team-leading sixth assist of the season. Leading scorer Claude Giroux (eight points) was held without a point against the Blues, as was free-agent signing Jaromir Jagr, who has just four assists in seven games so far this year.
The Maple Leafs got knocked around 6-2 in Boston last Thursday night, but they bounced back from that loss with a 5-4 overtime win in Montreal on Saturday night.
Mikhail Grabovksi had the OT winner for Toronto in that contest, and Phil Kessel scored his league-leading eighth goal of the campaign. Kessel also leads the NHL in points with 14 in seven games.
James Reimer started between the pipes for the Maple Leafs on Saturday, stopping nine of 10 shots before leaving the game with reported whiplash; he won't play on Monday. Jonas Gustavsson gave up three goals on 18 shots in relief.
The Flyers won three of four meetings with the Maple Leafs last season, but did lose to Toronto 3-2 at home in March as a big -240 favorite on the NHL betting lines. Reimer was in nets for the Leafs in that game, while Sergei Bobrovsky started for the Flyers.
