Tonight the Leafs face off against a team that was, until rather recently, in the hunt for the final playoff spot. Since the All-Star break, however, the [New Jersey Devils](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/new-jersey-devils?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) have gone 8-1-1, and now stand [8 points above the Leafs](http://www.nhl.com/ice/standings.htm?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) in the standings (and have a game in hand). The Leafs, as we know all too well, are not doing so well these days, with a 4-5-1 record in their last 10, and have lost 5 of their last 6.

With the [Winnipeg Jets](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/winnipeg-jets?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) on their heels, this is the kind of home game that is of the "must win" variety for the Leafs.

Jump for more.

[Jonas Gustavsson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/72169/jonas-gustavsson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) will get the start tonight, after [James Reimer](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54304/james-reimer?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) (along with the rest of his team), had a rather unfortunate evening against the [Canucks](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/vancouver-canucks?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). [The Leafs have received .867 goaltending in their last 6 games](http://www.tsn.ca/toronto/blogs/jonas%5Fsiegel/?id=388405&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).

[Martin Brodeur](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54811/martin-brodeur?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), who has been on fire for the last 10 games, will start in goal for the Devils.

[Mikhail Grabovski](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54327/mikhail-grabovski?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) will look to snap his 9-game goal drought, his longest since a 12-game stretch that started off the season. Thankfully, his possession numbers still look strong enough to inspire a certain amount of confidence that the goal-scoring touch will find him again.

Here is Toronto's projected lineup [as per James Mirtle:](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/leafs-beat/leafs-attempt-to-bump-slump-against-red-hot-devils/article2344855/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)
