PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - The Flyers will look to get back on track tonight at the Wells Fargo Center, as they host the first-place team in the Northeast Division, Toronto.

Philadelphia has dropped two in a row, both at home. They lost last Thursday to Washington, 5-2, and then fell Saturday night to St. Louis, 4-2.

The Maple Leafs are playing very good hockey here in the early going as they sport a 5-1-1 record through seven games.

This is the first meeting between these two teams this season. Last season, the Flyers won three of the four matchups, including both games in Philadelphia.

KYW’s Matt Leon spoke with Sarah Baicker, who covers the Flyers for CSNPhilly.com, about the matchup and the Flyers 4-2-1 start.
