Game Notes |
| VGK -Adin Hill will likely start for the Golden Knights -Newly acquired Rasmus Andersson has yet to make his Golden Knights debut due to immigration issues. It's possible he could play his first game for Vegas here since it's of course being played in Canada -The Leafs will once again face Vegas on a 2nd half of their back-to-back. The Golden Knights lost 4-3 in Boston on Thursday, but they did enter the 3rd period of that game down 4-0 -Mitch Marner will of course play his 2nd NHL game ever against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and his first in the city of Toronto against the team that he spent his childhood rooting for and 9 years of his professional career playing for |
| TOR -Joseph Woll will likely start for the Leafs -All eyes will be on the Leafs defence at Friday's morning skate. OEL of course left Wednesday's game early with a lower body injury, and Carlo reportedly may have tweaked something in the game as well. Of the two OEL seemed more likely to miss time but reports late Thursday seemed to suggest that the Swedish machine may not be broke after all |
