Philadelphia Flyers defeat Toronto 4-2

Claude Giroux finished with a goal and two assists and Steve Mason made 32 saves, as Philadelphia prolonged Toronto's recent stretch of misery with a 4-2 decision on Friday.

Vincent Lecavalier, Wayne Simmonds and Scott Hartnell also provided offense for the Flyers, who snapped a two-game slide and have won six of their last eight overall heading into a Sunday afternoon matchup with Atlantic Division leading Boston.

Dave Bolland and James van Riemsdyk tallied for the Maple Leafs, who suffered their seventh consecutive defeat. Jonathan Bernier allowed four scores on 29 shots as Toronto failed to pick up a point and gain ground in the race for a wild-card berth in the East.
