The Leafs haven’t played them since October 13th, a game that they won 4-2. A lot has changed since then, Marner is leading the team in points, Tavares is leading the team in goals, Auston Matthews, Nazem Kadri, Kasperi Kapanen, and William Nylander are all on their own little production skids.
As well, Andreas Johnsson and possibly Jake Gardiner missing the game tonight due to injury.
There are several different storylines to watch tonight. Marner and Matthews are set to play on the same line tonight, Trevor Moore is set to play tonight, and it is the last game before the Leafs go on their bye week.
