FLA
?Anthony Stolarz (3-1-0, 2.28 GAA, .917 Sv%) will likely start for the Panthers
?The Panthers are coming off a 5-0 win over the sens on Monday night. Bobrovsky got the shutout in that one so it's unclear if that will earn him a B2B start or not
?That Florida-Ottawa game was incredibly ornery with 149 total PIMs being handed out in the 3rd period alone, including one scrum that saw all 10 skaters on the ice get handed a 10-minute miscoundct
?Florida has finally over their playoff/offseason injuries with defencemen Ekblad and Montour returning to the line-up 5 games ago

TOR
?Joseph Woll (6-5-0, 2.92 GAA, .910 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?Keefe made his biggest line-up change of the season at practice on Monday swapping Marner and Nylander in the top-6
?Reaves and Benoit seem to be getting the call for this game over McMann and Lagesson. Probably not a coincidence that both players have a size advantage against an opponent like Florida

"Keefe made his biggest line-up change of the season at practice on Monday swapping Marner and Nylander in the top-6"

I'm sure it'll last at least 1 period of hockey.

Matthews split half his time with Marner and Nylander last year. If Nylander's defensive improvements lead to more trust in most of the match ups, it can last until it goes stale.

The Penguins, with the last change advantage, put their top D pair and Crosby's line against Bertuzzi-Tavares-Nylander, which gives a pretty good indication about how far Matthews-Marner have fallen in this recent stretch. The Tavares line was the only line to win their minutes at 5v5 (62% CF%; 1 GF, 0 GA) with the second highest DZ draws (behind the extremely buried Kampf line).

Marner, for some reason, has been doing that thing that plagued Domi earlier this season: get the puck, slow to a halt, give away the puck.

Leafs probably don't want Boston on their helmets regardless of the connection.
 
TikTok, PizzaPizza, somewhere Conn Smythe has a pained expression on his face.

Actually, I just looked him up and find that he ran a sand & gravel business aside from his Leafs stuff so maybe they can get a similar outfit to sponsor their helmets.

Doesn?t Boston play in TD Garden?

I feel like the average person probably doesn't know that it stands for Toronto Dominion
 
I still hate that Reaves is getting playing time over McMann/Steeves/Abruzzese but this is the game he needs to do something.  He talked a big game about the Gudas scream in Woll's face when he signed.  He then did nothing against the Panthers when we played them.  Bennett didn't play the last game.  If Reaves doesn't fight someone (without an instigator) he shouldnt' dress another game this year.

No one is going to fight him. He needs to be a menace or there... Get in people's faces and all that stuff.

Ugh.
 
Florida has had a much better start to this year than I was expecting.  Going to be a tough task, and I hope the shuffling of the lineup will provide a shot in the arm to get our big guns going again.

Would love to see Woll have a solid game and solidify himself as the capable 1A starter.

Yeah that's fair.  It doesn't have to be a fight but it needs to have that kind of impact. Take guys off with offsetting minors.  Throw a few big hits
 
Ben-wa blasts one in a blatant attempt to decapitate Stolarz.

They are playing for keeps out there.
