	Game notes

NYR
•Jaroslav Halak (10-8-5, 2.71 GAA, .904 Sv%) will likely start for the Rangers
•New York heads into their season finale with their playoff position firmly locked up. They'll finish 3rd in the Metro division, although their opponent can still come down to Carolina or New Jersey
•Tarasenko has 8 goals and 21 points in 30 games since being traded to the Rangers, while Kane has 5 goals and 12 points in 18 games

TOR
•Joseph Woll (5-1-0, 2.19 GAA, .933 Sv%) will start for the Maple Leafs
•Final game of the regular season for the 2022/23 Maple Leafs. Lines continue to be up in the air. Expect to see a regular or two sit for rest
•Keefe did confirm that Marner would play after sitting out on Tuesday. Marner is 1 point away from hitting the 100-point mark for the first time in his career

Would be fun for them to get to 50 wins, and Marner tyo get his 100 points.

[Zee]

The most meaningful game of the year

ATO for backup ?

Aside from Woll, that might be the lineup for the first game against Tampa ...
Probably depends on how Knies does tonight and Lafferty's health.

Go Leafs Go, let's finish this chapter and open up the one that I am ready to be Hurt again.

And Matthews to get his 300th goal, Nylander 40 and 1pt for Acciari to get to 100.

You may be right though I worry about the 2nd line defense in this configuration... I seem to prefer Marner with Tavares for defensive reasons.

Matthews is 1 from 300.
Marner is 1 from 100.
Nylander is 1 from 40.

A Leafs win + Carolina loss means the Leafs jump them in the standings
A Leafs win + New Jersey getting 1 point or less means the Leafs jump them in the standings.
If the Leafs match Vegas for points 0, 1, or 2 the Leafs win the tiebreaker on RWs.

If the Leafs win those three scenarios they would finish 2nd in the NHL and get home ice in all but the 2nd round (if they advance)

With Penguins streak of 16 ending ...

[Zee]

The Leafs must own the record for most ATO goalies signed in one season no?

[Highlander]

I like that second line. 

[Significantly Insignificant]

I like that second line. 

Agreed, if you put Tavares on the third line with Kerfoot and Jarnkrok, that's a pretty good top 9.

Those are actually very significant things.  So this game is not meaningless at all.

There, fixed for you.

That is a great way to end a great season too. Go Leafs Go!!!
