The last time the Maple Leafs and Penguins met this season Matt Murray took the game easily from the lackluster Leafs. Scoring chances was a struggle for the team, who were clearly hurt from the words of Lars Eller.
Sine that game the Leafs have gone 2-3 and suffered a loss with Auston Matthews being viciously attacked by Jacob Trouba and knocked out of the roster for a month or so.
The Penguins went 3-1-0-1 in that time frame as well, tossing six goals against the Oilers, utterly destroying the Flames 9-1, and blanking the Canucks 5-0 before taking back to back losses to the Islanders.
