With the expected return of John Tavares and Matthew Knies, the Leafs will have their full complement of talent available to them besides goaltender Anthony Stolarz — who should be back this week — and two players who haven’t played much/any of a role this season in Jani Hakanpaa and Calle Jarnkrok. The Oilers are also reasonably close to full health, albeit with some day-to-day situations due to illness.
Edmonton has been loading up Draisiatl and McDavid recently, a juggernaut duo that has out-scored the opposition 24-11 at five-on-five, along with 67% xGF this season. By comparison, McDavid has been outscored 26-23 at five-on-five without Draisaitl on the ice with him.
