All info/lines comes from TSN Ice Chips and this opening post will be updated if the lines change leading up to game time.

 
Leafs should be good for at least 4 or 5 goals. It's a road game and they are well rested. I figure Kessel will get a couple and have a big game and Leafs win in a fast high flying game.
 
I guess Knubels age finally caught up to him.  Only 3 goals so far this year.  So he should be good for 1 tonight.

I still think we win though.  I expect Kulemin to finally break out of his slump, and for a good game from the depth guys.

4-2 Leafs.
 
Well if Armstrong is back in the lineup a Leaf win is a certainty. Or so I'm told.

We're something like 300W-1L when he plays, right?

If they lose, the Legend of Colby Armstrong will be very much at risk.
 
Yeah, as admirable of a job Goose had done, I think Reimer has to be given every opportunity to get back into the groove.

I agree.  Reimer is the presumptive #1 and you give him a fair shot at retaining that status.  The last thing we need is a "goalie controversy."

Siegel said Reimer is starting.

Funny, but my gut reaction was that Gus should be starting.

We don't suddenly need a goalie controversy.  Everyone knew going into the season that Reimer was the #1 goalie.  You don't suddenly lose your job because you've been injured for over a month.
