Game Notes​

BUF -Alex Lyon will likely start for the Sabres -Do not adjust your television sets folks: the Sabres are 29-6-2 since December 9th and currently find themselves at the top of the Atlantic division

TOR -Anthony Stolarz will likely start for the Leafs -The Leafs will of course be without Auston Matthews for the rest of the season -It's unknown how Berube will work his lines without Matthews, I'm making some educated guesses with the forward trios and assuming Joshua and Lorentz get back into the line-up

Apparently there's a big snow storm due in Minnesota, so tomorrow's game there could be in doubt.

Just thinking hypothetically. Let's say the Leafs sign TJ Hughes (or another College Free agent). Does that count against their 5 AHL callups?

Not unless they send him to the AHL first. He's eligible to play in the NHL right away.

Found this when trying to confirm....

Not a "Call-Up": A call-up implies a player is already under contract within the organization (e.g., in the AHL) and is moved to the NHL. Signing a free agent or a drafted player directly from college is a direct pro-contract entry.

I hope that lineup is wrong...Pezzetta should be in for either Lorentz or Jarnkrok.

If the Leafs can’t get there, Wild should be awarded the points

It's ok. Newly minted tough guy Easton Cowan will stand up for his team mates.

Everyone got a good view of that goal against

 

[Arn]

Thought I’d take in the first period this evening.

Might not make it that far.

When did Stolarz play last? It’s like Woll is in every game*

* granted I’m really not paying much attention anymore

We had our one moment of life after the Matthews injury. I suspect the Leafs will go all out on the 30th in the revenge game. I'm not convinced they will win any other games this year.

Meanwhile Winnipeg beat Colorado 3-1 and New York is up 4-1 on Minnesota. A decent chance the Leafs will be 3 points out of 4th after tonight.

 

[Bill_Berg]

The other teams really are doing what it takes to give the Leafs a chance for a too five pick.

Woll has been very good lately so I guess Berube decided to use Stolarz tomorrow night.

 

[herman]

Nice shot, Josh!

I wonder if they are trying to show he can handle a stretch of games as a showcase as I assume he’s more of a tradeable asset that Anthony McSplodybones

 

[Arn]

Nice shot, Josh!

Less nice
