#### Caroline Hurricanes at Toronto Maple Leafs

#### 7:30PM - Air Canada Centre

#### TV: SPORTSNET ONTARIO / RADIO: TSN 1050 / Fox Sports Southeast - 99.9 FM

#### Our esteemed opponent: [Canes Country](http://www.canescountry.com/2016/2/25/11111386/carolina-hurricanes-at-toronto-maple-leafs-preview-eric-staal-trade-deadline?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) 

Please help me think through these interesting facts in the game notes, especially those last three points. It's telling that in a Babcock-coached team, no matter how often they lose, they (1) keep battling in the 3rd, (2) keep winning important positional battles in faceoffs, (3) keep doing the most important part of hockey, which is throwing pucks to the net.

Now imagine if William Nylander were here doing all those things?

And here's another question, who on this list gets traded? My best guess is Arcobello (we know about Parenteau).

- Nazem Kadri has collected four assists in his last two games. He ranks 10th in the NHL with 205 shots on goal.
- Josh Leivo has scored a goal in all three games he has played in since being recalled from the AHL’s Toronto Marlies on February 8.
- Peter Holland has recorded three points (one goal, two assists) in his last two games. Holland has matched his career-high with 25 points this season and leads the Maple Leafs with 11 power play points.
- P.A. Parenteau has registered four points (two goals, two assists) in his last five games.
- Mark Arcobello has collected four points (three goals, one assist) in his last five games.
- Brad Boyes has recorded five points (one goal, four assists) in his last six games. He collected his 500th NHL point in last Saturday’s game versus Philadelphia.
- The Maple Leafs have outscored their opponents 60-58 in the third period this season.
- The Maple Leafs are averaging 31.3 shots on goal per game, the sixth-highest total in the NHL.
- The Maple Leafs own the NHL’s fifth-best faceoff win percentage (51.4%)./
