(SportsNetwork.com) - The Philadelphia Flyers begin an epic road trip that will carry them into 2015 when they visit the Toronto Maple Leafs for Saturdays clash at Air Canada Centre. Philadelphia kicks off its longest trip of the season tonight, an eight-game swing that will keep the Flyers away from the Wells Fargo Center until they host Ottawa on Jan. 6. By the time the trip ends Jan. 3 in New Jersey, Craig Berubes club will have played 13 road tilts over a 17-game stretch. The Flyers, who went 2-1-1 on a four-game homestand that wrapped Thursday against Florida, is hoping this trek turns out better than its last road trip. Philadelphia went 1-2-2 on a five-game swing from Nov. 29-Dec. 9 and is just 3-9-3 as the visiting team this season. Philadelphia has six wins over its last eight games in Toronto, but the Leafs have claimed two of the past three meetings at Air Canada Centre. Tonights tilt marks the first of three scheduled encounters between the club in 2014-15. The Leafs took two of three from the Flyers in 2013-14 and have earned four wins in the past six meetings overall. After winning the first two games of its homestand by a combined 9-2 margin against New Jersey and Carolina, the Flyers lost two straight against Tampa Bay and Florida. The Lightning posted a 3-1 win in the City of Brotherly Love on Tuesday before the Panthers edged the Flyers in Thursdays shootout battle. Dave Bolland scored in the sixth round of the tiebreaker to lift the Panthers to a 2-1 victory. It was a short shootout compared to the NHL-record 20-round battle Florida had with the Washington Capitals on Tuesday. The Flyers fell to 0-5 in shootouts this season. Jakub Voracek scored the only goals for the Flyers in both regulation and the shootout. Voracek has 38 points this season, tying him for second in the NHL scoring race with Pittsburghs Evgeni Malkin. Steve Mason stopped 31-of-32 shots for the Flyers through regulation and OT before taking the loss in the shootout. Ray Emery will start tonight for the Flyers after Mason suffered an upper-body injury at Fridays practice. Mason did not travel with the team to Toronto and also will miss Sundays game in Winnipeg. General manager Ron Hextall said the status of his No. 1 goaltender will be updated on Monday. Emery is 5-3-2 with a 3.08 goals against average in his career against the Maple Leafs. Rob Zepp was recalled from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League to serve as Emerys backup. The 33-year-old Zepp has never seen action in an NHL game. Toronto is hoping to rebound tonight after having a six-game winning streak halted in Thursdays 4-1 loss at Carolina. The Hurricanes had lost six in a row before dealing the Maple Leafs the setback at PNC Arena. The Leafs were eyeing their longest winning streak in over 11 years, but Carolina jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period and never looked back. Toronto still hasnt won seven in a row since an eight-game streak from Nov. 22-Dec. 6, 2003. Dion Phaneuf scored for the Maple Leafs, who also lost for just the third time in their last 13 games (10-2-1). Jonathan Bernier gave up three goals on 36 shots and had a personal four-game winning streak stopped. We got outworked, said Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle. Then we finally got ourselves back into the hockey game and took ourselves right out of it. Toronto returns home for just one night before beginning a seven-game road trip of its own with Sundays test in Chicago. The Leafs are 14-7-0 as the host this season compared to a 5-3-3 mark on the road.

Prosecutors charged the 27-year-old Pistorius with murder in Reeva Steenkamps death and say it was with premeditation. They say they will seek a life sentence if Pistorius is convicted, the sternest punishment available in South Africa. South Africa no longer has the death penalty. The intense public interest in the Pistorius trial is shown by the launching Sunday night of a 24-hour cable channel devoted to covering the court case. If convicted on the murder charge, Pistorius could be sent to prison for at least 25 years before the chance of parole, the minimum time someone must serve if given a life sentence in South Africa. He would be older than 50 before he could be released. The state says Pistorius intentionally killed Steenkamp at his home in the pre-dawn hours of Valentines Day last year by shooting her through a toilet door after an argument. Pistorius denies murder and says he killed his girlfriend by mistake when he fired four times through the door thinking there was a dangerous nighttime intruder on the other side. A lesser sentence is possible if Pistorius is found guilty of murder but without premeditation. He also could be convicted of culpable homicide, South Africas version of manslaughter in which someone is killed through negligence. Pistorius claims he was acting in self-defence against what he believed at the time was a threat to his life. As well as murder, Pistorius faces a second charge of illegal possession of ammunition for bullets found at his Pretoria house that he allegedly didnt have proper licensing for. Prosecutors say he also will be indicted Monday with two more gun charges relating to him allegedly shooting in public on two separate occasions before Steenkamps killing. The serving of an updated indictment to Pistorius in court is expected to be the first move at the trial at Pretorias high court. He has not yet been formally served with the papers that include all four charges against him, although his lawyers have had the papers and details of the additional gun charges since llast year, prosecutors say.ddddddddddddThe gun charges reportedly relate to him allegedly shooting out the sunroof of a car in one incident and another when he allegedly fired a gun inside a restaurant, apparently by mistake. Those incidents happened in the court jurisdiction of the city of Johannesburg, not where Steenkamp was killed in Pretoria, and prosecutors applied to have the two charges included and heard at his murder trial. Female judge Thokozile Masipa will ultimately pronounce the champion runner innocent or guilty and will decide on any sentence. South Africa has no trial by jury. Parts of the trial will be broadcast on live television, both in South Africa and across the world, and hundreds of reporters are expected to descend on North Gauteng High Court in the South African capital for the start of the trial. The 24-hour cable channel devoted solely to the trial will continue until the case is finished. The trial will deal with the bloody killing of a 29-year-old model and law graduate, but also the issue of gun ownership and South Africas problem of violent crime, which Pistorius says was the reason why he kept his licensed 9 mm handgun under his bed. Pistorius says his fear of crime was why he fired four shots through the door, hitting Steenkamp three times — in the head, elbow and hip. Prosecutors maintain he was simply angry with her after an argument. Members of Pistorius family will likely attend the trial, as they did on his previous court hearings. His uncle, Arnold Pistorius, sister Aimee and brother Carl are all also listed as state witnesses. "We love Oscar, and believe in him, and will be standing by him throughout the coming trial," Arnold Pistorius said in a statement over the weekend. For the first time, members of Steenkamps family will also be in the courtroom according to a family statement that her mother June and others would be at the trial. The parents and close relatives of Steenkamp did not attend any of Pistorius previous court appearances. "All we are looking for is closure and to know that our daughter did not suffer on that tragic Valentines Day," Steenkamps parents said in a statement this month and days before the one-year anniversary of the shooting that stunned South Africa.
