The Flyers traveled to Toronto tonight for a matchup with the struggling Maple Leafs. Unfortunately, it was the Flyers who looked like the ones who were struggling tonight as in a rare start, the wily veteran Curtis Joseph, better known as Cujo, came up with 32 spectacular saves to stall the Flyers. Meanwhile, Marty Biron allowed three early goals, and was replaced halfway through game by Antero Niittymaki. Although Niittymaki kept the Leafs scoreless the rest of the way the Flyers just didn't seem to have enough in the tank to rally back. Early in the first period Jamal Meyers scored for a 1-0 Leaf's lead. Halfway through the period Arron Asham scored to knot it up at 1. Early in the second period Lee Stempniak scored for a 2-1 Leaf's lead. Late in the period Ian White scored for a 3-1 lead. In the 3rd period with just under 3 minutes to play Claude Giroux finally pushed across another Flyer's goal to cut it to 3-2, but it was too little too late. The Flyers just weren't able to get another one past Joseph and fell 3-2. So the Orange and Black drop to 41-25-10 overall but remain 4th in the Eastern conference.
