Game Notes
TOR
?Andersen (32-16-4, 2.67 GAA, .922 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?Awaiting to see if the Nylander-Marner combination will stick while on the road. Babcock said the other day if Nylander performed well he'd stay at centre, and I think most agree that he did. But he still might want to split up the two offensive stars so one of them is away from the Hedman-Stralman pairing
?Tomas Plekanec might be making his Maple Leafs debut after being acquired yesterday
?Tonight's projected line-up will of course be effected by whatever happens prior to 3pm today. Will JVR still be around? Will Lou be getting Babcock a big name defenceman?
?Nikiatia Zaitiseev's pointless streak has now reached 21 games
TB
?Vasilevskiy (36-12-2, 2.34 GAA, .927 Sv%) will likely start for the Lightning
?I don't know why Callahan is there either, but he did score a goal in their last game after he was promoted to the top line
?There was a 2 or 3 stretch there where Nikita Kucherov was struggling to score. That stretch is over. The league's leading scorer has 18 points in his past 11 games
?The Lightning are of course another team looking to add a defenceman today. Rumours are swirling around Erik Karlsson, but if that doesn't pan out someone like Mike Green could be acquired instead
