### Toronto Maple Leafs at Chicago Blackhawks - Game #3

### Time: **7:00PM**

### Location: United Center

### Broadcast/Streaming: NHLN, SN, SN360, TVAS, NBCSCH, NHL.TV

### Opponent SBNation Site: [**Second City Hockey**](https://www.secondcityhockey.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

In Game 1, the Leafs got out-shot and out-played by a team most people in hockey consider to be bad, and they won.

In Game 2, the Leafs out-shot and out-played a team most people in hockey consider to be bad, and they lost.

So here comes Game 3, where the Leafs are playing a team most people in hockey consider to be bad. What’s going to happen this time? Are they going to play well and lose? Are they going to play like crap and win? Will it be a combination of the two? Who knows!

### Toronto Maple Leafs

As of yet, we have no idea if the Leafs will be making any changes to their skaters in the first back-to-back of the season. If it helps in anyway, the Marlies played for the second time in as many games (with travel) and iced an almost identical lineup in both.

Will we see Justin Holl, Martin Marincin, or Frederik Gauthier? Keeping with the theme of the day, who knows!

WILL WE SEE WILLIAM NY-- Stop stop, it’s not happening it’s... \*cries into gravy boat\*

**UPDATE:** THIS IS NOT A DRILL. WE HAVE A MARMAR SIGHTING!

#### Forwards

Alex DeBrincat - Jonathan Toews - Dominik Kahun  
Brandon Saad - Nick Schmaltz - Patrick Kane  
Chris Kunitz - Artem Anisimov - David Kampf  
Marcus Kruger - Luke Johnson - Andreas Martinsen

#### Defense

Duncan Keith - Henri Jokiharju  
Brandon Manning - Brent Seabrook  
Erik Gustafsson - Jan Rutta

#### Goalies

Cam Ward  
Anton Forsberg

Oh, hey! Cam Ward is starting! This might actually be a fun night!

I didn’t realize how far the Hawks’ forward depth had fallen in the past few years. Chris Kunitz was barely a fourth-liner on the Tampa Bay Lightning last year, and he’s a regular on the third line with Anisimov. Dominik Kahun sounds like if a hockey blogger and a racecar driver had a baby and he’s on the first line.

On defense, losing Niklas Hjalmarsson, Vinnie Hinostroza, and Jordan Oesterle over the past two years due to cap troubles has really weakened the core. Is Duncan Keith still able to play 30 minutes a night? Who knows!

We’ll update you at game time with the lines in warmup, but stay right here for the game chat tonight.
