NHL

The Maple Leafs are back in action Tuesday, as they again look to play the role of spoiler, with the Philadelphia Flyers coming to the ACC.  Toronto's looking to climb out of the Eastern Conference basement, currently sitting 2 points back of both Florida and Tampa Bay.  The Flyers, hold the 8th and final playoff spot in the East, 2 points up on the Rangers and 3 points ahead of the Thrashers.  New York is playing in Buffalo, while Atlanta hosts New Jersey.

In the Western Conference, there is just 1 playoff spot still up for grabs, and it's currently held by the Colorado Avalanche.  The Avs are 2 points up on the 9th place Calgary Flames.  On Tuesday, Colorado will play in Vancouver while Calgary hosts San Jose.  An Avalanche win, coupled with a Flames loss, would eliminate Calgary from the post-season.
