Game Notes
TOR
-Campbell (2-0-0, 2.00 GAA, .923 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
-Campbell says he's ready to go and barring any setback tomorrow he should get his first start since getting injured just over a month ago
-Muzzin (wearing a full cage) and Thornton both took part in practice Friday and it looks like they'll be able to return to the line-up, but are still game-time decisions at this point
-Matthews did not take part in Toronto's practice but Keefe said he has not been ruled out so he will also be a game-time decision
EDM
-Smith (6-0-0, 1.73 GAA, .944 Sv%) will likely start for the Oilers
-The last 4 weeks have been very good for Edmonton, as they've gone 11-2 in their last 13 games and jumped up into 2nd place in the Canadian division. The return of Mike Smith, 4 games/wins against the sens, and the best player in the world scoring 2 points per game have all played a large role in the success of their last 13 games
-Tyson Barrie is starting to get really good at his job of passing to McDavid. He has 18 points in 23 games this season and 16 points in his last 14 games
-Kyle Turris is not having as good of a bounce-back season with just 3 points in 18 games. That's led to him getting scratched in their last 4 games
