### 07:00 PM at Scotiabank Arena

### Watch on: TSN4, NBCSCA

The Leafs last game was away on January 6 against the San Jose Sharks, which Toronto won by a score of 4-1 in Regulation. The Leafs have a record of 20-10-7 for a 0.635 Points %. The Sharks have a record of 9-28-3 for a 0.263 Points %.

### Them

I don't want to talk about the Sharks. Okay, wait, this is funny:

Who is this guy again? Let's ask Matthews. No idea if he plays, but Logon Couture is not set to play tonight. 

#### Lines

Practice lines from January 7

William Eklund - Tomas Hertl - Mike Hoffman  
Anthony Duclair - Mikael Granlund - Fabian Zetterlund  
Alexander Barabanov - Luke Kunin - Justin Bailey  
Filip Zadina - Ryan Carpenter - Kevin Labanc

Mario Ferraro - Ty Emberson

Kaapo Kahkonen - surely if they want to trade this guy, they're starting him in Toronto, no?  
MacKenzie Blackwood

### Us

The Leafs are going with exactly the same lineup that beat the Sharks. Nick Robertson sits for the third game in a row, and Pontus Holmberg gets another shot. Defence pairs unchanged. Both players have averaged right about 10 minutes per game when they've played, so neither is really the third-line winger. The Leafs real third line is a mix of Järnkrok and some of Domi and the fourth liners.
