Game Notes

BUF
?Hutton (6-5-4, 3.05 GAA, .901 Sv%) will likely start for the Sabres
?Jack Eichel is currently on a 16-game point streak where he's scored 15 goals and recorded 29 points. This has jumped him up into a tie for 5th in the league in points with Pastrnak
?On the flip side Jeff Skinner is on pace for just 26 goals and 43 points this season. Not quite what Buffalo was expecting for $9mil
?If you're wondering "where's Casey Mittelstadt?", well Sabres fans have been wondering that all season. After recording just 4 goals and 9 points in 31 games this season Buffalo finally decided to send the 21-year old forward to the AHL for the first time in his career

TOR
?Andersen (16-8-3, 2.49 GAA, .921 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?Tyson Barrie was able to practice on Monday after leaving Saturday's game with an ankle injury. He said it was still a little sore but believed he'd be able to play
?The Leafs called up Marincin and Timothy Liljegren on an emergency basis yesterday in case Barrie was unable to play

Injuries

?Matt Hunwick - Neck - Injured Reserve
?Vladimir Sobotka - Knee - Injured Reserve
?Tage Thompson - Shoulder - Injured Reserve​
Code: 
     
?Trevor Moore - Shoulder - Probable Tuesday
?Tyson Barrie - Ankle - Probable Tuesday
?Andreas Johnsson - Leg - Injured Reserve​

First game back from a lengthy road trip. Recipe for a flat game? Let?s hope this myth can be dispelled tonight !
 
We can't afford to come out flat tonight. We need to start putting some wins together.Lets end Eichel's point streak tonight.
 
Go Leafs Go!

Man, Hyman-Tavares-Marner and Engvall-Kerfoot-Mikheyev are rolling! I'm of a mind that Matthews and Nylander would flourish with digger on their left again, but unfortunately there's only one Hyman on the team. Moore might get elevated there if Kapanen won't/can't play that role.
 
Hope the Leafs don't think the Sabres are going to be an easy game and decide to take the night off. Jack & The Boys have gotten points in 9 of their last 10 games and sit 2nd in the division so they're better than one might think. This is a must-win game for us tonight to make up some ground on them.
 
I like Moore, but Timashov virtually hit every guy on every shift and finished his checks, name one other Leaf that does that? Plus his set up for the Goat goal was great. 
We have so much talent with our forwards, what do we do when Johnsson gets back?

Trade him or someone making over 2 mill because the Leafs will have to put someone on waivers barring another injury.

Hopefully it's dawned on them that they are actually behind almost every team they've played recently.  They need to keep racking up dubs.

Moore is apparently not good to go tonight.

He was out for shoulder but was jolted enough to undergo concussion protocol and voluntarily withdrew from playing tonight because he didn?t feel right.

I don't get the emergency recall tho. They still have 12 forwards no?
