God Morgon everyone, it's the final day of the Global Series and the Leafs face the Wild early today. First a little FTB type content for you:

And now the preview: 

### Minnesota Wild @ Toronto Maple Leafs  
8:00 AM at Avicii Arena, Stockholm  
Watch on: SNO, NHLN, BSN, BSWIX

### Them

The Minnesota Wild played an extraordinarily dull game against Ottawa yesterday. 

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/2023/11/image-1.png)

That's the whole game, which went to a shootout. Ottawa won, 2-1 the final score. Less than 3 Expected Goals from the two team combined. Whoo hoo!

Way to sell the game, NHL. And blah, blah, fix three-on-three. Get back to me when you're genuinely willing to disincentivize overtime and stop this playing for ties stuff.

Gustavsson played yesterday, so will the Wild try him again or will it be Fleury?

Kirill Kaprizov - Marco Rossi - Mats Zuccarello

Marcus Foligno - Vinni Lettieri - Patrick Maroon  
Brandon Duhaime - Connor Dewar - Nic Petan

Jonas Brodin - Brock Faber  
Jacob Middleton - Jared Spurgeon  
Jon Merrill - Zach Bogosian

Filip Gustavsson  
Marc-Andre Fleury 

### US

Last game, the Leafs came back against the comeback team of the season, the Red Wings, and won it in style. Willy style. 

I expect no line changes since we are deep into the saga of John Klingberg – too hurt to play, soon to be a major motion picture brought to you by Robidas Films.

#### Lines

Matthew Knies - Auston Matthews - Mitch Marner  
Tyler Bertuzzi - John Tavares - William Nylander  
Nicholas Robertson - Max Domi - Calle Järnkrok  
Bobby McMann - David Kämpf - Noah Gregor

Morgan Rielly - T.J. Brodie  
Mark Giordano - Jake McCabe  
Simon Benoit - William Lagesson

Joe Woll – assumed starter  
Ilya Samsonov

#### The Game

It's Sunday, it's 8 am. Some of us being awake is all I expect. The Leafs are likely fully full up on this Swedish adventure and want to come home. The Wild are... do the wild have enough emotion to feel shame for yesterday's game? 

And now for the GDT portion of this post: 

GO LEAFS GO

Ah, gee, which Avicii song should I add... hmmm....
