03/07/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Michael Leighton made 27 saves to help the Philadelphia Flyers take a 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs at Wachovia Center.
Danny Briere, Simon Gagne and Jeff Carter each had a goal for the Flyers, who snapped a two-game slide. Chris Pronger added two assists in the win.
Nikolai Kulemin scored the lone goal for the Maple Leafs, who have dropped five of their last six. Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 22 stops in the loss.
Toronto took four penalties over a 4:34 span in the first period, with Colton Orr taking three of the minors.
Philly had extended power-play time thanks to the infractions and were able to put the puck into the net. On a 5-on-3, Pronger used the slap-pass from the high slot to send it to the low left circle where Carter slammed it into the wide open net for his 30th goal of the season at the 13:22 mark.
The Maple Leafs tied the game 3:55 into the second, as Carl Gunnarsson threw a shot on net from the left point that was knocked down in front, and Kulemin backhanded the puck in from the right side.
The Flyers, though, scored twice in a 1:16 span late in the second to take the lead back for good.
The first goal came after a right circle faceoff win as the puck came around to the left side. Daniel Carcillo slid the puck over to the left circle where Gagne kicked it from his skate to his stick and snapped the puck into the net at the 17:09 mark.
A bit later, Briere made it a 3-1 game as he wristed home the puck in the slot off a pass from Braydon Coburn.
Leighton made 10 stops and helped Philadelphia kill a couple of power plays in the third period to hang on for the win.
Game Notes

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
