##### Puck Drop: 7PM ET Sportsnet Ontario

The future Brooklyn [Islanders](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/NYI?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) (*8-8-7, 23 pts, 5th in the Atlantic*) bring [John Tavares](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/72339/John%5FTavares?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) to Toronto for his first audition to be a Leaf Killer. I firmly believe he'll score at least a hat trick tonight seeing as he'll have 100 friends and family members in the stands (*call it $100 a ticket average and he spent $10K, yowza*).

Wallin is out of the lineup, Finger is hurt so Exelby gains a spot on the blue line. Schenn will be playing with Exelby which could get ugly really quickly based on their foot speed. The Islanders are a very young team and guys like [Sean Bergenheim](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54145/Sean%5FBergenheim?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) have rocket skates.

[Vesa Toskala](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54305/Vesa%5FToskala?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) earned himself the start on Saturday night so he'll face [Dwayne Roloson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54851/Dwayne%5FRoloson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) who is sporting a .911 save percentage and a 2.86GAA in 13 starts this year.

Don't forget your [SPG Picks](http://www.pickspg.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), and let's pray the Leafs pick up a much needed win.
