The Canes play a matinee in TO.
The Leafs have hit a rough patch, posting a 3-4 record so far in December and only scoring 10 goals. Auston Matthews hasn't played since December 9 and is out with an upper body injury. It looks like Nikita Zaitsev will also miss the game. Matthews still leads the team with 26 points, although JVR has passed him with 15 goals. Mitch Marner has 18 assists. Our old friend Ron Hainsey has 2 goals, 12 assists and is 3rd on the team in ice time per game. Their PP is 9th at 20.6%, their PK is 14th at 81.9% but tied for 27th at home at 75%.
The Canes are looking to extend a season long 3 game winning streak. With the early start there won't be a morning skate, so no word on lines or who goes in goal.
