### Toronto Maple Leafs @ Calgary Flames  
10:00 PM at Scotiabank Saddledome  
Watch on: TVAS, TSN4, SNW

### 

The Leafs last game was away on January 31 against the Vancouver Canucks, which Toronto won by a score of 3-2 in a shootout. The Leafs have a record of 25-21-9 for a 0.536 Points %.

The Calgary Flames last played at home on January 31 against the San Jose Sharks. The Flames won by a score of 3-2 in regulation, and their current league record is 22-26-6 for a 0.463 Points %.

### Them

Zayne Parekh returns to the lineup for the Flames, playing in his first NHL game since November. He will also play on the second power play unit. 

Calgary is a 50% club team with their Corsi at 51 and Expected Goals at 49\. They have a much more effective offence than defence, but their shot quality is poor. 

Their power play is very poor quality, and they score well under expected by Moneypuck's model. Their PK is good, though, and they get good goaltending shorthanded. 

Devin Cooley has had a great season, while tonight's starter, Dustin Wolf, has been below average and is out of the range of what you'd call a starting goalie. Joe Woll has similar results overall.

### Us

The only change is on defence, with Morgan Rielly not playing, and Marshall Rifai in the pressbox.

> Morgan Rielly will not play tonight per Craig Berube. Says won’t play Edmonton either and out for the break. No specifics on injury. Said ailment was lingering for a bit before the game. [@BodogCA](https://twitter.com/BodogCA?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

Ekman-Larsson and McCabe are on the power play units, and nothing illustrates the problem this team has on defence better than Jake McCabe as the next man up.

### The Game

The Leafs have played two pretty good games in a row. The score doesn't match that level, but then, that's how hockey works. That's why you have to aspire to more than pretty good. 

This is a winnable game, so maybe they will. Aspire to a little more, do a little more and maybe even win it.
