John Tortorella's Philadelphia Flyers will face off against Craig Berube's Toronto Maple Leafs in Ontario as they conclude a five-game road trip. The game, set for Tuesday night at Scotiabank Arena, begins at 7:00 p.m. EDT and will be broadcast on NBCSP, with radio coverage on 97.5 The Fanatic and an online simulcast on Flyers Radio 24/7.

This matchup marks the third and final meeting of the season between these teams, with the Flyers currently holding a record of 0-1-1 against the Leafs this year. Their previous encounters resulted in a 3-2 overtime loss at Scotiabank Arena and a subsequent 3-2 regulation defeat at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers are looking to end their road trip on a positive note after suffering a 7-4 loss to Chicago. They have been struggling recently with a record of 1-9-1 over their last eleven games.

Meanwhile, the Maple Leafs have had mixed results in March but are focused on securing home ice advantage for an anticipated playoff series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. "Sarge" Scott Laughton is adjusting to his new team after being traded from Philadelphia to Toronto earlier this month.

Laughton has yet to score his first point as a Maple Leaf but continues to contribute by playing both center and left wing positions while also participating in penalty kills alongside Matthew Knies.

Travis Konecny is hoping to extend his scoring streak after netting goals in back-to-back games over the weekend. He leads the Flyers with 68 points this season. Owen Tippett aims for his third consecutive season scoring more than twenty goals, needing just one more goal to reach that milestone.

The Flyers' power play performance has been disappointing lately, going without success on their last thirty attempts during March. They rank near the bottom of the league despite starting strong earlier in the season.

Goaltender Samuel Ersson may get another chance between the pipes following his recent appearances where he replaced Ivan Fedotov mid-game against Dallas.
