Game Notes

EDM
-Koskinen (1-3-0, 3.80 GAA, .897 Sv%) will likely start for the Oilers
-Things aren't going so well for Edmonton: they lost their season opener and recently lost back-to-back games in Edmonton against Montreal
-McDavid has started the season at a respectable pace, with 3 goals and 5 points in 4 games. Draisaitl also has 5 points, all assists
-Former Leaf Tyson Barrie has 2 assists in 4 games with his new team so far while averaging 21:36 of ice-time a game, 2nd most among Oilers defencemen

TOR
-Andersen (2-1-0, 3.31 GAA, .881 Sv%) will start for the Leafs
-The Leafs are expected to run the same line-up that earned them a victory against Winnipeg, meaning they'll stick with 11 forwards and 7 defencemen for now
Injuries

-Mike Smith - Undisclosed - Injured Reserve -Oscar Klefbom - Shoulder - Out for season -James Neal - COVID-19 Protocol - Out

-Nick Robertson - Knee - Injured Reserve

This one scares me a bit, Edmonton is due for a big game.

It'll be fun seeing Matthews and Tavares go head to head with Draisaitl and McDavid.

You mean Tavares vs. Turris.

[CarltonTheBear]

Auston Matthews said the pucks with the chip technology didn't seem to slide as well as the regular ones. He and Jason Spezza compared them and found the weight to be off, too.

The NHL announced yesterday that they'll be taken out of circulation until a new batch can be made.

Matthews hat-trick tonight.

[cabber24]

Coming off a couple of strong games for the Leafs. Let's not only dominate the play but also let's dominate the scoreboard. Thrilled to reduce the goal against the last couple of games.  Holl looks legit the last few. It would be nice to have some faith in the blue line for the first time in a while.

and....

GO LEAFS GO!

I feel like they always seem scary and end up being not as scary as we think.

Connor McDavid (@cmcdavid97) and Auston Matthews (@AM34) have met seven times before. Here's where things stand ⬇️@EdmontonOilers vs. @MapleLeafs at 7 ET on @NHLonNBCSports and @Sportsnet #WNH #NHLonSN

I guess it's not that surprising but I didn't realize our record was so good against the McDavid-era Oilers.

[.]

I'm looking forward to this amazing matchup of the NHL's two best players.

McDavid vs Holl.

Lets go.

Didn?t think I was going to get to watch this one but it?s on UK TV so here I am not getting enough sleep again

[Arn]

Have they changed ?all thy sons? to ?all of us? in the anthem?

Hadn?t caught that before
