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.

Nylander skating well.  Again.

[Downtown Connor Brown]

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?
