After a disappointing four-game stretch, the Philadelphia Flyers have three opportunities to regain their winning ways this week.

The Flyers begin the week with two tilts against Original Six opponents. The Toronto Maple Leafs come to Philadelphia Monday night (7 p.m., CSN-PH), then Philadelphia will travel to Montreal to meet the Canadiens (Wednesday, 7:30 p.m., CSN-PH, RDS, TSN).

Led by Phil Kessel, the NHL leader with 14 points, the Maple Leafs sit atop the Northeast Division with a 5-1-1 record. Montreal currently dwells in the Northeast cellar after beginning the season 1-4-2.

Philadelphia then returns home Thursday night (7 p.m., CSN-PH) for the team's first back-to-back of the season against the Winnipeg Jets. Currently last in the Southeast Division, the Jets (2-4-1) are 28th in the league in goal differential (-9) and have scored fewer goals (16) than all but three Eastern Conference teams.
