Toronto Maple Leafs (42-22-7) @ Montreal Canadiens (26-33-12)

7:00 PM EDT

Air Canada Centre

TV: CBC

It’s a battle of two teams who are playing without their 1C, the difference is Toronto’s is just missing time due to an upper body injury. Montreal is missing their 1C due to upper management incompetence.

But at least they also traded away an exciting defensive prospect to NOT get a 1C!

[Looks at Montreal’s defense from Arvind’s preview]

....oh.
