Toronto Maple Leafs vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Thursday, 01/08/26

The Toronto Maple Leafs will visit the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night. This is the second meeting between these 2 teams this season. The Leafs won the first 5-2 and have been playing much better hockey recently, to the point where they look like an entirely different team. They are 4-0-1 in their last 5 games. Captain Auston Matthews has found his game; he has 7 goals in that same 5-game stretch. Matthews is enjoying some new-found chemistry with winger Bobby McMann, while and Toronto’s third line consisting of Nicolas Roy, Nicholas Robertson and Easton Cowan has been solid. Those guys are chipping in offensively. Netminder Joseph Woll is 4-1 in his last 5 start; he has been holding it down back there. The Leafs’ powerplay that was struggling mightily up until the holiday break is now one of the hottest in the league.

Going up against the Flyers will be no easy game, as head coach Rick Tocchet has them playing a very solid, defensive-minded style. However, the Maple Leafs are on a roll right now — so I am riding with them on Thursday. Give me the Leafs on the money line.
