Philadelphia Flyers vs Toronto Maple Leafs Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Philadelphia Flyers
This clash features two teams with opposite playing styles that excel in completely different areas. While the Maple Leafs rank fifth in the NHL with 3.36 goals per game, the Flyers sit ninth in goals against, with 2.80.
Their recent form has been similar as well, with Philadelphia winning six of their last 10 encounters (W6, L3, OT1) and Toronto going W5, L3, OT2.
As a result, it’s difficult to determine which side holds the edge on paper. However, the Flyers have some factors working in their favour heading into this matchup.

Most notably, they’ll be playing at home, where they’ve gone W6, L2, OT2 over their last 10 outings, against a Maple Leafs squad that tend to struggle on the road, with five losses in a row (L3, OT2).
The Flyers are also healthier and possess far more depth than their opponents, who will depend almost exclusively on their star forward, Auston Matthews, to get the win here.
Even though Toronto have enough firepower on offence to clash with any team, they could fall short here against Philadelphia’s impressive defence. The Flyers should snap their ongoing four-game losing skid to the Maple Leafs with a victory here.
Philadelphia Flyers vs Toronto Maple Leafs Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Travis Konecny over 0.5 points
Travis Konecny has been one of the Flyers’ most productive players lately, with four points (two goals, two assists) over his last five appearances.
The right winger is firmly entrenched in Philadelphia’s first line, so he should continue to have plenty of opportunities to keep producing.

This run of four points in five games isn’t an oddity for Konecny, either. The 28-year-old forward currently ranks second on the Flyers roster in points with 37 (13 goals, 24 helpers) across 41 outings. The only Philadelphia player with more points is Trevor Zegras, who has 41 (17 goals, 24 helpers) in 41.
Philadelphia Flyers vs Toronto Maple Leafs Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Over 4.5 total goals + Travis Konecny over 0.5 points + Auston Matthews over 0.5 goals
To begin our three-leg parlay, we believe this is going to be a high-scoring matchup. Even though the Flyers aren’t known for their scoring prowess, they’re coming off a dominant 5-2 home win over the Anaheim Ducks and have scored at least five goals in three of their last four games.
As for the Maple Leafs, the numbers speak for themselves – they rank fifth in the NHL in scoring with 3.36 goals per fixture.
It’s also likely that two of the best players on the ice will be able to crack the scoresheet. Konecny has recorded at least one point in five of the Flyers’ previous seven outings, while Auston Matthews has seven goals and 11 points in his last five appearances for Toronto.
Philadelphia Flyers vs Toronto Maple Leafs Team News
Philadelphia Flyers Team News
The Flyers have three players listed as day-to-day who could return to action on Thursday. The list includes winger Bobby Brink (upper body), defenceman Jamie Drysdale (undisclosed), and winger Matvei Michkov (foot). Having Brink back in the mix would provide a boost offensively since he has 20 points in 41 games.
The only long-term absence is Tyson Foerster, who’s sidelined with an arm injury and isn’t likely to be an alternative until the end of the regular season. Foerster could only be an option if the Flyers go into a deep playoff run, as he’s slated to be back in late May in the best-case scenario.
Toronto Maple Leafs Team News
The Maple Leafs continue dealing with a long list of absences, but two names stand out among the players who will miss Thursday’s contest: goaltender Anthony Stolarz (upper body) and centre William Nylander (lower body). Stolarz is Toronto’s No. 1 netminder when healthy, while Nylander has a team-high 41 points in 33 games.
The rest of the absentees aren’t expected to play big roles once they’re healthy and ready to return to the lineup. That includes winger Dakota Joshua (upper body) and a trio of blueliners: Jake McCabe (lower body), Dakota Mermis (lower body), and Chris Tanev (groin).
