Them

The Leafs have played the Avs post-deadline, so their new configuration isn't new. That game was fairly typical of the Leafs play against a run of teams capable of besting them at puck possession at five-on-five.

Toronto got an early lead on some very low-quality offence and entered the third with a one-goal lead. It was a one-goal game when you take the ENGs out, and the Avs won it 5-4 late in the third on an untimely penalty taken by the Leafs.

Their lineup looks tough to beat and they are.

Us

This is the first game of a back-to-back for the Leafs so a nice solid goalie performance would be good. Craig Berube is opting for Woll for this game and Stolarz for tomorrow.

Leafs held an optional skate, so lines are from practice only.
