True, the Maple Leafs concluded their road trip by allowing four goals to every California team (San Jose, Los Angeles, Anaheim). The other was at home against the NHL’s most anemic offense (San Jose), and he gave up two goals in a 3-0 defeat. So they should be raring to go in front of their home crowd. However, four of those 12 goals were scored on the power play. Only one of those victories has been by multiple goals (and it didn’t happen at home). It has three goals in its last 21 power-play opportunities over the last six games and is just 6-for-31 with a man advantage this season. One was on the road against a prolific scoring team (Florida), and Sandstrom gave up every goal in a 4-3 loss.

They should be able to post a crooked number, and with their defensive play also looking spotty, a play on the over makes sense. And that’s a recipe for disaster since Philadelphia is bleeding scoring chances to start the season. Toronto has already lost to bottom-dwellers [Arizona](https://nypost.com/article/best-arizona-sports-betting-sites/), Montreal, San Jose, and Anaheim as big favorites and will be in a similar spot against the Philadelphia Flyers, who lost to the Rangers, 1-0, in overtime on Tuesday night. This will be Sandstrom’s third game of the season and the eighth of his career, so it’s hard to project what kind of goaltender he’ll be on a nightly basis. Philadelphia was expected to be a contender for the Wooden Spoon, so putting 12 points in their pockets after nine games is another feather in the cap for head coach John Tortorella. When the Maple Leafs are good, the parade routes are planned.

Nicholas Martin breaks down Wednesday's NHL game between the Philadelphia Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs.

We know full well that in this spot as significant underdogs, the Flyers will look to keep the game simple, keeping five guys behind the puck as often as possible, and to avoid complete breakdowns against a high powered Leafs team. The Leafs have blown a number of leads, and have often looked lethargic in the early going of this season, especially if you are going to put heavy weighting on how easy the schedule has been to this point. That is a more reasonable notion than some might expect, as Toronto has still played to a seventh best xGA/60 rating of 2.98 this season, even with the team looking highly disengaged and not at its best. The Leafs will skate as gigantic favorites yet again in this spot against a Philadelphia Flyers team who played last night in New York, which is a situation that has already proven to be a nightmare for Leafs faithful this season. The Flyers enter this contest with a record of 5-2-2, and the Tortorella effect has been apparent, as the team has played a very hard-nosed style and achieved greater results than anyone might expect.

But that's what I need to see out of him because I think that helps build his foundation and then it allows him to play." [Apple Podcasts](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/flyers-talk-a-philadelphia-flyers-podcast/id1497383342) The Flyers are definitely having to play too much defense. Joel Farabee gave the Flyers a brief 1-0 lead in the first period. On Tavares' third goal, Felix Sandstrom lost his skate blade and had no chance to stop the power play blast. That's what I want to see out of him. 22 in Toronto and Jan. The five goals surrendered marked a season high through 10 games. A lot of youth will do that.
