### Toronto Maple Leafs @ Vegas Golden Knights  
10:00 PM at T-Mobile Arena  
Watch on: TNT, truTV, MAX, TVAS, TSN4

### 

The Leafs last game was at home on March 3 against the San Jose Sharks, which Toronto lost by a score of 3-2 in shootout. The Leafs have a record of 38-20-3 for a 0.648 Points %.

The Vegas Golden Knights last played at home on March 2 against the New Jersey Devils. The Golden Knights won by a score of 2-0 in regulation, and their current league record is 36-18-6 for a 0.650 Points %.

### Them

Vegas is first in their division with a very similar record to the Leafs. 

They are floating at the top of the middle third of teams in Corsi and Expected Goals at five-on-five, which puts them about two percentage points ahead of the Leafs or a couple or three shots per game. Vegas is 20th in team Save % and 18th in Shooting % in all-situations. 

Their power play is about like the Leafs in Expected Goals volume, but they actually score a lot more. 

They are the inverse of Toronto and the proof there's more than one way to get to the top of your division.
