Should be a high scoring game. Fun one for the neutrals, probably will be a frustrating one for us fans and especially us goaltenders.
My crystal ball says the Leafs are going 5-0 to start the season, so this is a win.
As good as they are on forward, their D is putrid and the worst in the league. Really want to beat this team because their HF following are so snarky and have a hard on for Leaf bashing.

Would not be surprised at all if MacKinnon gets his first in this game. He was pushing hard both games they've played this season and he's starting to look really comfortable. Leafs will likely need 4 or 5 goals to get the win in this one. Won't be easy though because Varlamov has looked really good both games they've played.
So take away the PP goals and 5/8 are off the rush.
Bernier is really good but he's not going to stop everything.You don't think the Avs scoring 3-4 goals will be easy based on how good Bernier has looked in the games he's played?

Landeskog - Stastny - Tanguay
McGinn - MacKinnon - Parenteau

Scratch: Cliche
Hejda - Johnson

Benoit - Sarich
Scratch: Hunwick, Holden
Injured: Wilson
Varlamov
Giguere
I've only heard of two of those six defencemen.
Which two? I know it's a bad group, but Johnson/Hejda should be well known, Barrie should be well known to any Canadian, Sarich has been in the NHL for 14 years, and any Leaf fan should know Andre Benoit from the Senators.
Sarich and Johnson. Barrie and Hejda sound familiar but only as names. I have no idea who they are.
