Flyers vs Maple Leafs Prediction
I’m on the Maple Leafs here. The Leafs let it get a little bit dicey in the first matchup between the two, but Toronto is still clearly the better team in my opinion and they’re starting to heat up as well which is dangerous now that this team is getting healthy. The Flyers are a team loaded with potential, but they just don’t have enough to get up and over the hump against some of the better teams on their schedule. Give me the Maple Leafs for the home and home sweep.
