Leafs Beat Flyers 5-2, Snap Streaks as Vladar Pulled and Tanev Leaves on Stretcher

Special-teams ineffectiveness underscored a short-handed lineup with a midgame goalie switch.

Overview

  • Toronto’s win halted Philadelphia’s three-game run and ended a five-game home streak at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
  • Dan Vladař allowed four goals on 19 shots and was pulled after Easton Cowan made it 4-1 just 33 seconds into the third period.
  • Aleksei Kolosov, recalled after Sam Ersson went on IR, made his first appearance of the season and stopped all seven shots faced.
  • Chris Tanev left on a stretcher after contact with Matvei Michkov, who received a two-minute interference minor on review that Toronto disputed.
  • Philadelphia went 1-for-6 on the power play, played without captain Sean Couturier, and saw Trevor Zegras extend his home point streak to eight games.
