	Game notes

COL
•Alexandar Georgiev (29-14-5, 2.65 GAA, .917 Sv%) will likely start for the Avalanche
•A recent injury to Artturi Lehkonen has given 2 former Leafs bigger opportunities: Malgin, who has 3 goals in his last 5 games, will take his place on Colorado's 2nd line while Galchenyuk, who has 33 points in 33 games in the AHL, has been called up

TOR
•Ilya Samsonov (23-8-2, 2.41 GAA, .915 Sv%) will likely start for the Maple Leafs
•No practice for the Leafs on Tuesday, so any line-up changes are up in the air. Schenn was expected to return to Toronto on Monday so there's a chance he could be back in the line-up

Georgiev looks like he's having decent season replacing Kuemper.

24 minutes against Colorado aren't going to get it done.  I hope they put in a better effort tonight.  It's crazy to me that Colorado has 80 points with all the injuries they have dealt with this year.

Aye what's stopping us from 10-8, or better yet, 9-9

I'd love to see them do a 10-8 and rotate the D-men evenly.

Bad vibes about this one. All depends which Jekyll & Hyde team shows up.

The Leafs play to the level of their opponents. Colorado is good, so the Leafs should be good.

I'm very much down for a repeat of our last performance against them.

Gio is a beast for that block, but that was a very scary choice to make
