Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!

It's the final regular season game in Scotiabank Arena for the Leafs this season, they're hosting the Detroit Red Wings who are fighting for that final Wild Card spot, only one point back of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Auston Matthews has the chance to score his 70th goal of the season tonight if he doubles up, and William Nylander has three more games to hit 100 points.

With it being the final night at home, how has this season been at Scotiabank?

Overall the Leafs have a 22-15-3 record, which gives them a 54% win record and a 57% points percentage.

They were 5-1 in the shootout at home, and played 6/7 shootouts on home ice.

Not so shockingly, Auston Matthews has scored the most goals at home, with 38. William Nylander is in a distant second at 20. TJ Brodie has the fewest in the most games played (33) with zero.

William Nylander leads in home ice assists with 28, followed up by Mitch Marner and Morgan Rielly at 26 each. Ryan Reaves played 36 games at home and has just one assist.

Overall, Auston Matthews leads with 53 points in 39 home games. William Nylander is second with 48. Alex Steeves has one point in 19 home games.
