Head Coach Flyers Edge Crush In Cunneyworth

Hockey Betting Lines

In their final game at Philadelphia until hosting the New York Rangers on Jan. 2 in the Winter Classic, the Flyers were pounded by a 6-0 margin by the streaking Bruins, who scored twice in the game's first three minutes and four times overall in the first period.

Philadelphia had a seven-game win streak snapped and fell into a tie with Boston for first place in the Eastern Conference.

The game featured a scary moment in the first period when Flyers rookie Sean Couturier was hit in the head by the puck off a shot from teammate Kimmo Timonen. Couturier was taken to the hospital for observations and was not expected to travel to Denver.

Though Philadelphia took the lone meeting with the Avalanche last year 4-2 at home, it has lost its last four at Colorado since a win there on Dec. 27, 2004. The Avs have won six of the last eight encounters overall.

"It felt good," Johnson said about his game-winning goal. "It feels good the get back on the board and help the team win."

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Kings will try to bounce back from their most lopsided loss of the season when they visit the Toronto Maple Leafs for tonight's clash at Air Canada Centre. The Kings made a stop in Detroit on Saturday and were dealt an embarrassing 8-2 loss by the Red Wings. It was the sixth loss in seven games for Los Angeles, which fell to 1-2-0 under interim head coach John Stevens.

Stevens took over for the fired Terry Murray last week, but tonight's tilt figures to be his last game as LA's head coach. The Kings have reached an agreement for Darryl Sutter to become the team's new head coach, and he will likely be introduced on Tuesday or Wednesday, according to the team.

The Kings fell behind 3-0 before the midway point of the first period on Saturday and were never a factor after that. Jonathan Quick started in net for Los Angeles but was pulled in the first period after allowing three goals on seven shots. Jonathan Bernier relieved Quick and stopped 15-of-20 shots.

The Kings are making the final stop on a four-game road trip tonight and are 6-5-3 as the guest this season.

Meanwhile, the Maple Leafs have lost two straight, four of five and six of their last eight games. Toronto has not fared well defensively in its last two losses, surrendering five goals in each contest.

The latest setback came Saturday against visiting Vancouver, as the Leafs began a three-game homestand with a 5-3 setback against the Canucks.
