Game Notes​

CGY -Dustin Wolf will likely start for the Flames

TOR -Joseph Woll will likely start for the Leafs -Morgan Rielly of course left Saturday's game in the 2nd period with an upper body injury. There hasn't been an update on him yet so it remains to be seen if he'll be ok to play or if the Leafs will have to reconfigure their defence pairings in his absence

Regardless of Rielly's status, the defense pairings need to start with
McCabe - Stecher
OEL - (honourary Swede) Carlo

Would be appropriate if Leafs lost this to the Flmes and it ended the Treliving era in Toronto.

Do ANY of the Nylander men own shirts?

Is it weird that there are only 3 right-handed forwards in that group of 12 or am I putting too much stock into that?

Well not really, only in the sense that that's been a thing here for awhile so we should be used to that. The two seasons before this Nylander and Marner were really our only two full-time righties, with Jarnkrok and Reaves in and out of the line-up for injury/performance reasons. The only other righty to suit up at forward in those 2 seasons was Alex Nylander for 5 games.

I think adding another right handed forward, particularly a top-6 one, but handedness specially probably isn't at the top of the list of what's holding the team back right now. Lots of teams are generally have more lefties.
