I’m not typically one for a sense of urgency in regards to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but this upcoming game against the New Jersey Devils calls for it.
Nikita Soshnikov will make his 2017-18 season debut, remember that him being called up was basically a safety net move, albeit Mike Babcock would like him to be a Leaf for a long time.
His job tonight, to be good, to be mean, to be fast and to be a good penalty killer as per Dave McCarthy on Babs.
Frederik Andersen is also expected to be in net, so the push for this win is prompt, let’s hope for the best.
