Game Notes

NSH
•Rinne (27-8-3, 2.32 GAA, .926 Sv%) will likely start for the Predators
•Nashville is 2nd in their division in points, just 2 behind Winnipeg despite playing 3 less games. They're 9-1-1 in their last 11 games. They've scored 5 goals in each of their past 3 games
•One bright spot: their highest scoring forward, Filip Forsberg, is in the middle of a 3-game suspension for interference
•Some not bright spots (for us): Subban has 23 points in his last 22 games, Kevin Fiala has 9 points in his last 9 games, Arvidsson has 9 points in his last 8 games, and Johansen has 7 points in his last 6 games

TOR
•Andersen (25-15-4, 2.66 GAA, .921 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
•Andersen of course left Monday's game in the 2nd period after taking a skate to the head. He said he had some whiplash symptoms and a sore jaw, but feels like he'll be able to play
•No line-up changes were made at practice yesterday
Injuries

•Nathan Horton - Back - Out indefinitely •Joffrey Lupul - Actually Injured - Out indefinitely •Nikita Soshnikov - Groin - Injured Reserve •Frederik Andersen - Head - Probable Wednesday

In McFate's World of Magic we swap Ds and the Leafs win the next 12 Stanley Cups.

I'd settle for just one of their top-4.

I have a bad feeling about this...

Anyway, Go Leafs Go!!!

I am guessing I would take an Ellis contract over a Karlsson or Doughty contract.

How about Tyler Biggs costing them the picks that chose Rickard Rackell and John Gibson?

Invalid Tweet IDHappy Game-day. Here's Kurt Angle angle-slamming octagenarian Mae Young.

So the Leafs best dman is Rielly. How many of the Preds dmen are better than him? Subban and Josi for sure, what about Ellis or Ekholm?
