Philadelphia are coming of a tough defeat at home against the Blues. Toronto's last game was an emotional win against the Canadiens in Montreal.
Flyers goalie Bryzgalov is 4-0-0 with 1.55 GAA against Toronto lifetime. On goal for the Leafs will be Jonas Gustavsson who took over the no.1 spot in the absence of Reimer who went out in the match against Canadiens after a collision with Brian Gionta. He is still getting used to having minutes in the big league and that is reflected in his stats. He's received 9 goals on only 61 shots faced, giving him a terrible 85.2 save percentage.
5 on 5 play both teams are better than their oppositions so far, Philadelphia posting a 1.08 and Toronto has a 1.15 Goals for/goals against ratio.
Powerplay-wise Philadelphia is much better, both in drawing penalties and scoring in the PP opportunities. They are 8/32 (25%) and the Leafs are 4/29 (13.8%).
Penalty kill isn't the strongest suit of both teams, but Philadelphia has the edge here too. They conceded on 6 of 36(83%) kills and Toronto 7 of 24 times(74%).
Philadelphia are a more active team in the shots on goal department, outshooting opponents 32.4-26.4. Toronto is regularly outshot with averages 26.4-31.4. This translates into 3.29-2.71 Goals for/goals against per game for Phila and 3.29-3.29 ratio for Toronto.
Toronto won the last meeting in Philadelphia 3-2 (March 3), but was outscored 26-11 in losing the previous five games there.
