In their first home game since December 21, the Philadelphia Flyers lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs, 3-2, on Tuesday evening at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers reached the midway point of their season in the middle of the pack. They had battled the Atlantic Division-leading Toronto Maple Leafs to the brink for the second straight game on Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Center, yet for the second straight game, they left the ice with a loss, this time 3-2 in regulation.

The Leafs' pool has taken a hit in both quality and quantity after trading away many draft picks over the years.

After jumping out to a 3-0 lead, the Montreal Canadiens couldn't deliver the win, as the Toronto Maple Leafs rolled off seven-straight goals for the lopsided victory.

Travis Konecny scored twice to hit the 20-goal mark and the Flyers were dominant at full strength. But Toronto's power play was the difference.

Matthew Knies scored the go-ahead goal in the third period as the Toronto Maple Leafs skated to a 3-2 victory over the host Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday.
