### Minnesota Wild @ Toronto Maple Leafs  
07:00 PM at Scotiabank Arena  
Watch on: SN, Wild+, MINNHL

### 

The Leafs last game was at home on November 10 against the Colorado Avalanche, which Toronto lost by a score of 6-3 in regulation. The Leafs have a record of 8-10-2 for a 0.450 Points %.

The Minnesota Wild last played away on November 10 against the Montréal Canadiens. The Wild won by a score of 2-1 in overtime, and their current league record is 13-3-4 for a 0.750 Points %.

### Them

The Wild have a five-on-five record fairly similar to the Devils, although they are more offensively tilted than defensive. 

Their power play is extremely good, one of the best in the NHL so far, and they score right on their very high expected rate. 

Their PK is good, and they have been allowing a hair under expected in goals against. 

Their all-situation team Save % is second in the NHL. Jesper Wallstedt has played 17 of their 20 games, and has an outstanding record. The fact that he is a one-man show in net for them is their only, very slight weakness. 

They have a case to be considered the best team in the west so far this season.

### Us

The lines are a projection today, as there was an optional skate yesterday. The Leafs put Colton Sissons on IR today (week-to-week) and recalled Brendan Brisson. 

Brisson is leading the Marlies in points right now with 17 in 14 games. He was at morning skate but has not practiced with the team. 

Cole McWard skated for Zack MacEwen yesterday, but MacEwen did participate in morning skate, so he might play. McWard is in tonight, and Chris Tanev is taking another game off for maintenance.
