### Edmonton Oilers @ Toronto Maple Leafs  
07:00 PM at Scotiabank Arena  
Watch on: SN, NHLN

### 

The Leafs last game was at home on November 12 against the Minnesota Wild, which Toronto lost by a score of 5-2 in regulation. The Leafs have a record of 8-11-2 for a 0.429 Points %.

The Edmonton Oilers last played at home on November 11 against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Oilers won by a score of 3-2 in overtime, and their current league record is 14-3-3 for a 0.775 Points %.

### Them

We just played this team, so they aren't a mystery. One-line dominance, excellent power play, questionable goalies who are getting along okay this season. 

#### Lines

Bob Stauffer via [Daily Faceoff](https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/edmonton-oilers/line-combinations/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) from yesterday's practice.

Vasily Podkolzin - Connor McDavid - Leon Draisaitl  
Kasperi Kapanen - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Zach Hyman  
Colton Dach - Jason Dickinson - Trent Frederic  
Alex Formenton - Owen Michaels - Mathieu Joseph

Mattias Ekholm - Evan Bouchard  
Ryan Shea - Connor Murphy  
Shakir Mukhamadullin - Ty Emberson

Devin Levi - likely starter  
Tristan Jarry

### Us

Coming off a game where the Leafs allowed four goals with a goalie in the net, that goalie gets the start again. But it's Anthony Stolarz, so that's okay.

> Stolarz starts tonight. Reading between the lines, it sounded like a deviation from the plan with Bobrovsky.

No Chris Tanev at the optional skate, but no word yet either on any other lineup decisions. We shall assume the same lineup as last game until told otherwise, but Tanev could be in for McWard. McWard has been okay so far, which is good.

### The Game

Narrative, trope, narrative, cliché, narrative, clickbait. 

There, I summed up the pregame storylines. The game itself, well, to be honest, I don't know what to expect anymore. They played worse when they won games and are better-ish now and losing all the time. 

Go Leafs Go! Try to score a big pile of goals, eh?
