Joshua Ho-Sang and Nikita Gusev are both at Toronto Maple Leafs training camp on a professional tryout (PTO). Although the team is still in the early stages of training camp and preseason play, Ho-Sang appears to have an edge over Gusev.
Both players have only played in one preseason game thus far, but Ho-Sang seems to be much more engaged. Ho-Sang had three shots during the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 win over Montreal on Saturday. Gusev, on the other hand, registered just one shot in the team’s 5-2 loss to Montreal on Monday.
Going into training camp, one would have assumed that Gusev would hold the edge over Ho-Sang due to more NHL experience.
