The Side Jawn

When/Who/Where: 7:00 PM ET, at the Xfinity Mobile Arena, TV: NHL Network / NBCSP. Stream: ESPN+/Fubo. Radio: 97.5 The Fanatic. 

Flyers are rolling at home and just handled Nashville 4–1, and Trevor Zegras has been cooking lately. 

Toronto’s been wobbly (1-3-1 in their last five) lately.

Probable lineups (subject to warmups)

Maple Leafs (projected): Knies — Matthews — Robertson

Maccelli — Tavares — McMann

Joshua — Roy — Cowan

Blais — Domi — Järnkrok

Rielly/Carlo, Benoit/McCabe, OEL/Tanev, Stolarz in net.

Flyers (projected): Tippett — Zegras — Michkov

Foerster — Cates — Brink

Grebenkin — Dvorak — Konecny

Abols — Gaucher — Hathaway

York/Sanheim, Seeler/Drysdale, Zamula/Juulsen, Vladar in net.

Couturier skated this morning; status trending positive but keep an eye on warmups. 

Things to watch:

Matthews vs. our top checkers.

Keep Toronto to one-and-done rushes.

Don’t overcook at the blue line.

Flyers enter off the big Predators win, Toronto is coming off a 6–3 loss to Columbus.
