Game Notes
TOR
?Andersen (17-8-1, 2.67 GAA, .922 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?Thanks to herman and Nik for filling in while I was away. I didn't get to keep too many tabs on the Leafs during my break. Surely they didn't do anything stupid like keep Nylander on the 4th line for 3 of the 4 games that I missed?
?Or even if Babs did do that, surely he would have made sure Willy still saw a healthy amount of ice-time and wasn't essentially benched for an entire 3rd period of a game, right?
?Or EVEN IF those things happened surely Nylander would have played tons in a game where he lined up as the 1C and was one of the few fresh forwards on the 2nd half of a back to back, RIGHT???
?Oh, and Polak, he's not still playing is he? Boy imagine him playing 7 straight games with Carrick in the press box haha
?All those things happened? Yeeeeaaah right. Next you're going to tell me that Curtis McElhinney pitched a shutout while I was away!
PHI
?Brian Elliott (9-6-6, 2.79 GAA, .912 Sv%) will likely start for the Flyers
?It looked like the Flyers season was going to be over very early this year. They lost 10 games in a row and talk was growing about players being traded and coaches fired. But they followed that up with a 3-0 road trip through Western Canada to keep their playoff hopes alive
?The Flyers are led offensively by Voracek and Giroux, both of whom are back to being PPG players. The two combined for just 119 points last season. This season they are on pace for a combined 194 points
?Sean Couturier is also stepping up offensively in his new role as the teams 1C with Giroux pushed to the wing. Couturier has 28 points in 29 games. His previous career high was 39 in 63 games
?After a good-but-not-amazing sophomore season, Shayne Gostisbehere is back among the defensive scoring leaders. He has 22 points in 26 games
?Travis "OMG WHY DIDN'T THE LEAFS PICK HIM" Konecny has just 9 points in 29 games this season. He finished last season with just 8 points in his last 30 games
