Game Day Notes
– Starting tonight in Dallas, the Maple Leafs kick off a 35 games-in-68 days race to the finish that will also be relatively tough in terms of strength of opponents. As pointed out by Sportsnet’s Chris Johnston, the Leafs are only one of four teams in the league that will average more than a game every other night (Colorado, the Islanders, and Ottawa are the others) down the stretch.
– After practicing yesterday and taking the morning skate today, Morgan Rielly will sit out tonight’s game with an eye towards a return on Thursday in St.
