Starting goaltenders:
The Flyers had a late night on Tuesday. After playing the Rangers in New York, the team flew to Toronto, cleared customs and checked into their hotel. With Carter Hart having started Tuesday's overtime match, which went 64-plus minutes of game action before a Chris Kreider OT breakaway accounted for the game's lone goal, Felix Sandström is likely to get his third start of the season in Wednesday's game.
Sandström has played fairly well in his two starts to date. He was victimized by loose play in front of him in a 4-3 road loss to the Florida Panthers and had no goal support in a 3-0 defeat (the final goal was an empty netter) by the San Jose Sharks.
Overall, Sandström has stopped 54 of 60 shots (.900 save percentage) across the two games he has played to date.His play might not have quite matched up to Hart's (5-0-2, 2.10 GAA, .943 save percentage in 429 minutes). Nonetheless, Sandström has given his team a chance in both starts this season. The Swedish netminder is still looking for his first career NHL win.
The Flyers are going to be without Sean Couturier (back revision surgery) for at least the next three to four months. Cam Atkinson (upper body injury) is week-to-week with a mysterious issue that has kept him off the ice for several weeks and prevented him from any sort of high-tempo skating since the first weekend of training camp. James van Riemsdyk (2g, 3a in six games) had surgery last Friday to repair a broken left index finger.
Bottom line: The Flyers need to find more regular scoring sources beyond Konecny. More regular individual contributors to the "scoring committee" need to step forward.
The Leafs lines will look similar to this, seen at morning skate:
