Toronto will look to sweep the season series vs Edmonton as Connor McDavid makes his annual return home. Over a week ago, Toronto went into Rogers place and stole a victory on a Kris Russell own goal.
On the defensive end, Morgan Reilly and Ron Hainsey will have their hands full trying to contain McDavid. In their last meeting, Toronto’s defense was able to limit the 20-year-old to only one point. While Edmonton’s defense will look to redeem themselves after allowing three goals in the first period.
In net, Curtis McElhinney should start over Frederik Andersen as he tends to play the latter end of a back to back.
