Game Notes​

NSH -Justus Annunen will likely start for the Predators -Nashville is coming off a 4-1 win over the sens on Monday, with 2 of those goals coming on an empty net. This sets up a likely battle of the backups with both teams on the second half of a back to back

TOR -Cayden Primeau will likely make his first start as a Leaf -No word on any potential line-up moves for this game other than the goalie change. The Knies-Matthews-Cowan line did have a 16-5 advantage in shot attempts against Detroit so that might be worth giving another look

I think they should run the exact same line up as yesterday. My only thought would be to drop Maccelli to the 4th line or the press box.

I haven't been impressed so far. I doubt he's on the roster in December.

He's a top 6 forward or bust IMO. And the early smell test says bust

I mean counterpoint would be all of his success in the NHL so far has come while in a 3rd line role. Berube himself pointed out at the beginning of camp that immediately throwing him into the top line here wouldn't be the best thing for him. I hate to harp on this every day seemingly but the line juggling reaction to losing the teams 4C was just too much.

I wouldn't mind seeing Myers and/or Blais get into the line-up. The team has 23 bodies, might as well use them on back to backs.
