Insider Trading spoke on what the Leafs are considering as they try to get Joseph Woll back in the starter's net. Also the Oilers have moved Draisaitl back to McDavid's line over fears of a 0-3 start. An equally jumpy reaction to the Flames 3-0 start. And the Kings GM is on an expiring contract.
Nylander missed practice with an illness that's apparently been going through the Leafs locker room.
Per @LeafsPR, William Nylander is missing practice due to illness

Prospect season started in September for Brian, here's his October roundup. Always a must-read.
The MLHS folks give their first impressions of the Leafs lineup this season.
The PWHL regular season schedule is out, with the Toronto Sceptres opening the season on November 30th against the Boston Fleet (Fleet The Bostons). The season will end on May 3rd, Toronto hosting the Ottawa Charge.
Toronto's longest homestand at Coca Cola Coliseum is four games, as is their longest road trip.
Two of Toronto's home games on January 8th and 25th are "TBD" on their venue, a likely place for some Scotiabank Arena games. Additionally, SBA has a gap in their schedule for both those nights.
An emotional home opener for the Blue Jackets, who started the game without their left winger, and allowed the clock to run for 13 seconds before starting the game.

#CBJ took the opening face-off without a left winger. The puck drop, the clock was allowed to run for 13 seconds and the two teams — the Blue Jackets and Panthers — stood still.

Then, amid chants of "Johnny Hockey," the game started again with 19:47 on the clock.
It took me a couple takes before I realized that Gustavsson was that Gustavsson. I was very confused why a former Leafs defender would get so much press about a goal. But, no, watch this.

The night finished with Connor McDavid factoring on Leon Draisaitl’s OT goal – his 36 career points in the extra frame are tied for the seventh most in NHL history. #NHLStats: https://t.co/ZdWdMPEO0C pic.twitter.com/symXpH7JPj
