#NHL #CSP #LEAFSNATION
The key for the Leafs tonight is avoiding the trap game in the first game back home after a long road trip against a team that is among the bottom-feeders in the league at 8-13-4 (29th in points percentage).
As they learned in their visit to San Jose, like most teams in the NHL, there are enough dangerous elements on this Sharks club to hurt you if the effort and execution level isn’t sharp,
Of course, the Leafs look like an entirely different team since that Oct. 27 loss. Since the end of the California road trip, they’re fourth in the NHL by points percentage with a 10-1-3 record and are allowing just 2.21 goals against per game (also fourth in the NHL since Nov. 1).
Mitch Marner’s opportunity to tie the franchise record with points in 18 consecutive should provide an extra reason to get up for this one, and Sheldon Keefe will also mix in the fresh legs of Nick Robertson on the fourth line.
In net, Ilya Samsonov will return to the crease for the first time since his knee injury against the Boston Bruins on November 5th. With Matt Murray now healthy and playing excellent hockey, the Leafs are hoping their goaltending tandem can finally get rolling together for the first time this season as the calendar hits December — not that goaltending has been an issue for the team whatsoever this season with a .932 save percentage at 5v5 that ranks top five in the league. This is the first time both Murray and Samsonov will be in the lineup since the season opener in Montreal on October 12th.
