The Toronto Maple Leafs put together two strong road performances before the All-Star break and hope that momentum helps end their recent woes on home ice when they host the New York Islanders on Wednesday. The Maple Leafs defeated Chicago in overtime last Wednesday before shutting down a red-hot Dallas team 4-1 one night later, but they have lost four straight (0-2-2) at Air Canada Centre.

The San Jose Sharks attempt to avoid a fourth consecutive loss Wednesday as they continue their five-game road trip against the Detroit Red Wings. The Sharks began their trek Tuesday with a 5-2 setback at Pittsburgh that dropped them to 0-2-1 in their last three overall and allowed Anaheim along with Los Angeles to pull even with them in points for second place in the Pacific Division.

The Philadelphia Flyers atoned for an early-season 10-game winless skid by skating into the All-Star break with victories in eight of their last 10 contests. The Flyers look to continue their torrid play as they bid to defeat the Washington Capitals for the third time in as many meetings this season when the Metropolitan Division rivals face off at Capital One Arena on Wednesday.
