### Boston Bruins @ Toronto Maple Leafs  
07:00 PM at Scotiabank Arena  
Watch on: ESPN, SN, CBC, TVAS, NESN

### 

The series is tied one-game-all as the action returns to Toronto for two games.

### Them

Defender Andrew Peake was injured in the last game, and to be honest, I did not notice. He is out and Parker Wotherspoon is likely to come in. 

Otherwise, if the lineup order is changing, it's unlikely that Jim Montgomery is going to tell people.

### Us

Today's news is the Auston Matthews took the morning off, but William Nylander skated on a regular line at morning skate. And then stayed out late with scratch Noah Gregor. Sheldon Keefe gave the "there is a chance" line about Nylander playing. 

This game of will he or won't he is typical playoff obfuscation. Clearly he can skate and do drills, but he's very likely not playing tonight, and the lines will remain unchanged. 

Here's my thoughts on this question, no matter who the player is: what is the real likelihood that an injury-impaired performance by one player is superior to a healthy performance by another in the same role? If it's not very high, then not playing is usually the right answer. Frankly, unless you're in Game 7 it's always the right answer. 

Defence pairs were unchanged at morning skate.

### The Game

Get the puck, keep the puck, score more goals than them. Get home ice, keep home ice, win more games than them. 

Sounds simple, doesn't it?
