"The big night is finally here for Scott Laughton. After he was forced to miss Toronto's earlier visit in November due to injury, the 31-year-old is set to play his first game back in Philadelphia since the trade prior to last year's deadline. It took him a while, but Laughton has really found his footing in the Maple Leafs' lineup after a very slow and injury riddled start to his 25-26 campaign."
"Indisputably, that's the big story heading into Thursday night as Craig Berube's bunch will put their seven game point streak on the line. That said, we kicked off the Thursday edition of Leafs Morning Take by honouring an absolute great. On Wednesday night, it was announced that Hall of Famer Glenn Hall, who once made 502 consecutive starts in between the pipes, passed away at the age of 94."
Scott Laughton returns to Philadelphia to play his first game back since being traded, after missing Toronto's earlier visit in November due to injury. The 31-year-old regained form following a slow, injury-riddled start to the 25-26 campaign. The Maple Leafs carry a seven-game point streak under coach Craig Berube. Hall of Famer Glenn Hall died at 94; he made 502 consecutive starts, won two Stanley Cups, a Conn Smythe, three Vezinas and a Calder, and spent 10 seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks. The Leafs have dropped five straight on the road but have dominated the Flyers recently; Toronto's penalty kill sits at 91.5% since Laughton's return.
