Game Notes |
| NYI -Ilya Sorokin will start for the Islanders -Matthew Schaefer, the 1st overall pick in 2025 and likely runaway winner of the Calder trophy this season, will play in Toronto for the first time in his career. The Hamilton-native said on Monday that he's expecting close to 1,000 supporters in the stands for this time. I am genuinely unsure if that's an exaggeration or not |
| TOR -Anthony Stolarz will likely start for the Leafs -No update yet on the status of OEL after he missed Sunday's game for the birth of his child |
