Them

After a very successful trip to Europe, the Devils are riding high with a new coach and a new outlook on life. Dougie Hamilton is healthy, and they decided all goalies need to be named Jake.

Us

The Leafs entire season is doomed because they didn't score against Montréal, other than that, nothing is different today from yesterday. The main question is who is in net.

Hildeby also on the ice, suggesting Anthony Stolarz is starting.

The Game

That is a Sheldon Keefe roster up there, that's for sure. A little iffy on defence with a tilt to offensive skill. A lot of youth, a lot of speed. If anyone knows how to counter that, surely it's the Leafs? Does it work like that though? Can the Leafs counterpunch the cycle and turn the defending into chaos. God, I hope so, that would be really sweet.
